A historic Test on the cards as England Women announce home summer schedule

England's tour with India will kick off with an exciting Test in Bristol, which begins on 16 June. It will be India Women's first Test in seven years after both teams committed to a one-off Test earlier in the year.

It will be followed by three ODIs and as many T20Is in June-July, and with the 2022 ICC Women's Cricket World Cup right around the corner, both teams will have a chance to assert themselves with a series win.

In September, England will host New Zealand for a limited-overs tour, which consists of a three-match T20I series, followed by a five-match ODI series.

ECB's Chief Executive Officer Tom Harrison said "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.

"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.
