Leeds All Set To Host The Opening Test Of The England-India Series In 2025

The England and Wales Cricket Board has announced the schedule for the 2025 summer and the men’s teams as well as the women will play two series simultaneously which include blockbuster assignments against India.

England men’s five-match Test series against India will happen between 20th June to 4th August while an England women’s series vs Indian women comprising of three T20Is in addition to three ODIs shall take place between June 28 – July 22.

The first test starts on June 20 at Leeds where as the second test is played at Birmingham starting from July 2nd 2017. The third test match shall take place at Lord’s from July 10th while Manchester and Oval are looking forward to hosting both 4th and 5th test matches in that order respectively.

India women’s tour of England commences off with five T20Is: on June 28 (Nottingham), July 1 (Bristol), July 4 (The Oval), July 9 (Manchester) and lastly; July 12 in Birmingham. Two other one-day internationals follow suit taking place in Southampton, Lord’s and Chester-le-Street; this will be happening on 16th July; 19th July; and 22nd July respectively.

Before the India Series, the West Indies will visit England. Each of the men’s and women’s teams will play 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is respectively. The summer season for England commences with Zimbabwe’s first Test match in the country since year 2003, which is set to take place in Trent Bridge on May 22 for four days.

Towards the end of that same summer period, the men’s national team will play 3 ODIs and 3 T20Is against South Africa between September 2nd and September 14th. During this month as well, England will travel to Ireland where 3 ODIs are scheduled on the 17th, 19th and 21st respectively.

“Staging England Men’s and England Women’s series alongside each other has been popular with fans and supported the continued growth of the women’s game, with both the Ashes last year and the Pakistan series earlier this year proving successful.”

“I’m excited we’ll be doing the same again for the West Indies and India series next year. Cricket fans are in for a real treat, and I hope they’ll be out in force to support both men’s and women’s sides,” said ECB CEO Richard Gould.

“India touring is always a big draw and a highlight of any cricket summer. The last men’s Test series here was a nailbiter and I’m sure next year’s clash will be just as exciting, while our women’s series are always fiercely competitive.”

“I’m delighted we’ll also be welcoming both West Indies teams back again for white-ball series, following this year’s men’s Test series,” said Gould, who added that India women will return to England in 2026 to feature in the first ever women’s Test at Lord’s.
