England announce home summer schedule for 2021

They will begin their summer with a two-match Test series against world No.1 New Zealand, starting 2 June, and the two matches will be played across two cities – London and Birmingham.

"The prospect of our England Men’s team taking on the world’s two top-ranked Test nations in New Zealand and India this summer is something for us all to savour," said ECB Chief Executive Officer, Tom Harrison.

They will then host Sri Lanka for three ODIs and as many T20Is in June-July followed by another white-ball series, against Pakistan, in July.

The exciting home summer also features a five-match Test series against India in August-September, and the matches are slated to take place at Trent Bridge, Lord's, Headingley, The Oval and Old Trafford.
