On Monday, January 25, England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that England will begin their summer at home with a Test series against New Zealand. The series will start from June 2. Joe Root’s team will take on the top-ranked side in a two-match Test series at Lord’s (June 2-6) and Edgbaston (June 10-14).
They will play three T20 games against Sri Lanka at Sophia Gardens on June 23 and 24 and the final one at The Ageas Bowl on June 26. They will wrap up their home series with a five-match Test series against India.
“The prospect of our England Men’s team taking on the world’s two top-ranked Test nations in New Zealand and India this summer is something for us all to savour,” ECB Chief Executive Officer, Tom Harrison, said in a statement.
England are currently playing against Sri Lanka in Galle. After this they will travel to India for four Tests (two in Chennai and two in Ahmedabad), three One Day Internationals in Pune and five T20s in Ahmedabad.
