London, Apr 13 (UNI) The Indian women's cricket team will play a historic one-off Test against England in Bristol followed by three ODIs and as many T20Is across June-July.
The Test will be played at the Bristol County Ground from June 16-19, kicking off the England team's summer.
Incidentally, in March this year, Jay Shah, the secretary of the BCCI, had announced via a tweet that India will don the whites once again in a Test match against England, later in 2021. However, the exact date and venue were unveiled by the host board on Tuesday.
This will be the first time since 2014 that England and India will play a Test match. India haven't played the longest format since their one-off Test against South Africa in 2014, whereas England last played a Test in the 2019 Ashes.
"We're really looking forward to a busy summer in what is a huge year for our England Women's team, and we're very excited about hosting India and New Zealand,' said Tom Harrison, ECB Chief Executive Officer.
"The two international series will sit either side of The Hundred, and with the Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy and the new Regional T20 competition running throughout the summer, it's a fixture list that offers a lot for both our players and our fans.
With the 2022 ICC Women's World Cup around the corner it is of paramount importance that our England team is able to prepare accordingly, and with the team also due to travel to Pakistan in October we can look forward to an exciting 12 months of international women's cricket," he added.
Following the matches against India, The Hundred will take place, after which the England women's side will face New Zealand in three T20Is and five ODIs respectively, in September.
