Notably, India are touring England for an all-format series. Although it was supposed to be a white-ball series, the leftover from 2021 forced it to become an all-format series consisting of 1 Test, 3 T20Is, and 3 ODIs. The two teams will first face each other in the red-ball format (in the fifth rescheduled Test) starting on 1 July. The action will then shift to the shortest format where the teams will play 3 T20Is on 7, 9, and 10 July.
The tour will end with the teams locking horns in 3 50-overs games. The first of which will be played on 12 July. The second ODI is scheduled for 14 July. The finale of the 3-match series will be played on 17 July. Also, India will play a 4-day warm-up match against Leicestershire and two T20 warm-up matches against Derbyshire and Northamptonshire.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a 16-member squad for the fifth rescheduled Test while England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) are yet to name a squad.
India’s Test squad: Rohit Sharma (Captain), Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, Shreyas Iyer, Hanuma Vihari, Cheteshwar Pujara, Rishabh Pant (wk), KS Bharat (wk), Ravindra Jadeja, Ravichandran Ashwin, Shardul Thakur, Mohd Shami, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohd Siraj, Umesh Yadav, Prasidh Krishna
