India women will play Test cricket after 7 years

The Indian women’s cricket team will play a historic one-off Test against England in Bristol as part of a multi-format series that will also feature three ODIs and as many T20 Internationals across June-July. The Test will be played at the Bristol County Ground from June 16-19, kicking off the England team’s summer.

While the Indian women’s team will take part in a Test for the first time since 2014, England last played a red-ball game during the 2019 Ashes. The one-off Test will be followed by three ODIs and T20Is each with the tour concluding on July 15 in Chelmsford. After the India series, England will host New Zealand.

Following the engagements against India, The Hundred will take place, after which the England women’s side will face New Zealand in three T20Is and five ODIs respectively, in September.
