India to return to England in 2026 for 5 T20Is and 3 ODIs; women’s team set for multi-format tour

Team India will return to English shores for a blockbuster limited-overs series in 2026 as the England Cricket Board (ECB) announced fixtures for next summer. While the men's side will ply their trade in five T20Is and three ODIs, their female counterparts will play a historic Test at the Lord's Cricket Ground apart from three T20Is.

The Indian team had last played a limited-overs series in England in 2022, squaring off in three ODIs and as many T20Is. The tourists won both legs by 2-1 margins.

The Englishmen will also host Sri Lanka for three ODIs and as many T20Is. Ben Stokes and co. will play a couple of three-Test series against New Zealand and Pakistan. Apart from India, the women's side will play against New Zealand and Ireland.
