London: England and Wales Cricket Board today announced the itinerary for India's tour of England next summer which will include five test matches, five ODIs and a T20 international.
India will play a five -matchTest series in England for the first time since 1959 with Trent Bridge, Lord's, The Ageas Bowl, Emirates Old Trafford and The Kia Oval all hosting the Test Matches.
Leicestershire, Derbyshire and Middlesex will host tour matches against India.
Indian team last toured England in 2011 when they were defeated four-nil in the Test Series and three-nil in the ODI series. The T20 series was drawn 1-1.
ECB Chief Executive David Collier said: “This will be the first time England has hosted India in a five Test series in more than 50 years and the length of the series reflects the iconic status which contests between these two great cricketing nations now enjoy."
“We anticipate significant demand for tickets both for the test matches and ODIs, which will be the first encounter between these two countries in the 50-Over format since India's triumph in the final of the ICC Champions Trophy at Edgbaston earlier this year."
