The third women's T20I between India and England at the Cloudfm County Ground in Chelmsford has been rescheduled to July 14 due to broadcasting issues.

India and England will lock horns in a one-off Test match in Bristol starting June 16. This will be Mithali Raj & Co's first Test match in seven years. After the red-ball tie, both sides will play three ODIs followed by three T20I games.

England Cricket announced on Twitter that the last game of the tour will take place on July 14 instead of July 15.

"For broadcast purposes, the third Vitality IT20 between England Women and India Women at the Cloudfm County Ground will now be played on Wednesday, 14 July," the statement read.

The Indian team is currently undergoing strict quarantine in Mumbai before they fly to the UK on June 2. This will be their first overseas tour since the COVID-19 pandemic began last year.

Ramesh Powar, who was reinstated as head coach of the Indian women's team last week, will have a task in hand on his first assignment of the second term.

The Indian women's team suffered a massive setback in their last outing against South Africa. They were completely thrashed, losing the ODIs by 1-4 before going down in the shortest format by 1-2.
