IND vs ENG T20 Series: A new era for the Indian cricket team has begun, though the start was far from ideal. Under Shreyas Iyer’s captaincy, Team India lost a two-match T20 series against Ireland. Now, the team is heading to England for a five-match T20 series, followed by ODI matches. Make a note of the schedule for this new series, as it is fast approaching.
Five-match T20 series between India and England begins on July 1
The five-match T20 series between India and England kicks off on July 1 (a Wednesday). The second match is scheduled for Saturday, July 4, followed by the third match on Tuesday, July 7. The fourth match will take place on Thursday, July 9, and the fifth and final match of the series will be played on July 11, marking the conclusion of the series.
Three-match ODI series between India and England begins on July 14
The Indian team’s tour will not end there; the three-match ODI series is set to be crucial. The first ODI will be played on Tuesday, July 14, followed by the second on Thursday, July 16. The third and final match of the series will take place on Sunday, July 19. Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli will feature in this series, generating significant excitement. Shubman Gill will be seen leading the team in the ODI format.
Shreyas Iyer appointed new T20 captain, replacing Suryakumar Yadav
Having lost the first T20 series under his leadership, Shreyas Iyer faces a major and stern test during the England series. Questions regarding Shreyas’s captaincy have already begun to arise. In fact, India had won the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 title under Suryakumar Yadav’s captaincy as recently as March; yet, suddenly, not only was the captaincy taken away from Surya, but he was also dropped from the team. Shreyas Iyer has since taken over as captain. It remains to be seen how the team performs against England after losing the series to Ireland; their future prospects will largely depend on this series.
