The second match of the five-match series will be played from July 2-6, while the third will be played from July 10-14 at the iconic Lord’s Stadium in London. The fourth match will be played at Old Trafford in Manchester from July 23-27, while the last will be played at The Oval in London from July 31-August 4.
This series will be extremely crucial for India as they have not won a series against England on their turf since 2007 when they sealed a 1-0 win over Three Lions under the captaincy of Rahul Dravid. It will also serve as one of the most anticipated bilateral contests of the 2025-27 ICC World Test Championship cycle.
During India’s last tour of England, four Test matches were played between August and September 2021 under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, in which India were leading 2-1. However, the final match was rescheduled to July 2022 due to COVID-19. India played that match at Edgbaston under the captaincy of Jasprit Bumrah, losing it by seven wickets to level the series 2-2 and miss what was their best chance of securing a Test series win in the difficult conditions of England.
In the last Test series the two teams played this year, England succumbed to a 4-1 defeat to India in India, with captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum’s ‘Bazball’ approach to cricket failing to break India’s home supremacy, marked by dominant performances from captain Rohit Sharma, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, bowlers Ravindra Jadeja and Ravichandran Ashwin. Several youngsters like Shubman Gill, Dhruv Jurel, Sarfaraz Khan and Akash Deep also shone in what was a closely contested series.
