Cricket fans, mark your calendars! The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially announced the schedule for India’s highly anticipated tour of England in 2025. This tour, featuring a five-match Test series, is set to run from June 20 to August 4, and promises to be a cricketing spectacle.
India will kick off the series at Headingley, Leeds, on June 20. The tour then moves to Edgbaston in Birmingham, followed by the iconic Lord’s in London for the third Test. The fourth match is scheduled for Old Trafford in Manchester, with the series concluding at The Oval in London.
This series will be pivotal, not just as a part of the World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle, but also because it will give India a chance to break their long-standing drought of a series win in England, which has lasted since 2007. The last time India toured England in 2021-22, they were agonizingly close to victory, leading 2-1 before losing the final rescheduled Test, leaving the series tied 2-2.
The series is expected to be a true test of grit and endurance, with conditions in England always proving challenging for visiting teams. With star players like Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli likely to be at the forefront, Indian fans will hope to see their team reverse the trend and clinch a historic series win on English soil.
This tour is more than just a cricket series; it’s a chance for India to make a statement in the cricketing world and potentially alter the balance of power in Test cricket.
