India to tour England for five-Test matches in summer 2025, schedule announced | Cricket News
The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) on Thursday announced the schedule for the five-Test match series against India starting June 2025.
The two-time World Test Championship (WTC) finals will kickstart the 2025/27 cycle against England with the five Tests at Headingly, Edgbaston, Lord’s, Old Trafford and The Oval, with the first match scheduled to begin on June 20.
