The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has revealed the schedule for their home summer for next year, where India will be touring England in 2026 for five T20Is and three ODIs in July.

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also confirmed the same, and it potentially means the return of veterans Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli in action in England for one last time, with the duo having retired from Tests and T20I formats.

Meanwhile, the women’s tour starts first with first T20I set to be played at the Ambassador Cruise Line Ground in Chelmsford. Bristol and Taunton will host the second and third T20I on May 30 and June. The one-off test will begin on July 10 at Lord’s.

The men’s five-match T20I tour starts at Chester-le-Street on July 1, followed by the second T20I in Manchester at Old Trafford on July 4. The third T20I will be played at Trent Bridge on July 7. Briston will host the fourth T20I on July 9 after which the series ends at the Rose Bowl in Southampton.

The three-match ODI series comes after that with the first match in Birmingham on Juky 14. This will be followed by matches at Cardiff, on July 16 and Lord’s at July 19.

“We’re really excited to unveil what promises to be a spectacular summer of international cricket in 2026. With world class opposition visiting iconic venues across the country, fans will have the chance to witness the very best of the men’s and women’s game,” ECB Chief Executive Officer Richard Gould said in a statement.

“The highlight of the summer will undoubtedly be the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup, hosted here in England for the first time since 2009. It’s a huge moment for the women’s game, for Nat Sciver-Brunt and her team, and it’s a fantastic opportunity to inspire the next generation of players and fans.

“And just after that, we’re thrilled that Lord’s will also host an England Women’s Test match for the first time, marking a really special period of time for the women’s game,” Richard Gould concluded.
