England’s men’s cricket team will tour India in January-February 2025 for a limited-overs series. Earlier in 2024, both teams squared off in a five-match Test series, with India taking the series by 4-1.
The Englishmen are now returning for the limited-overs leg, with India hosting them for five T20Is and three ODIs. England will arrive in India on January 17, 2025, with the series getting underway five days later in Kolkata.
India and England will first lock horns in the T20I series, with the first game scheduled for January 22. Chennai, Rajkot, Pune, and Mumbai will host the other four T20Is.
The focus will then shift towards the ODI series, which will act as a preparation for the 2025 Champions Trophy scheduled in Pakistan. Nagpur will stage the first match on February 6, followed by Cuttak and Ahmedabad.
