India will host England in a multi-format tour in February and March 2021 – here’s the complete schedule, TV and live streaming details for the marquee series, which begins with the four Tests.

According to the schedule, the two teams will play four Tests, five T20Is and three ODIs in a near two-month window.

The England Test team has already reached India ahead of the first game, which begins in Chennai on February 5, and will be followed by the second Test at the same venue starting the 13th. The last two Tests will be held in Ahmedabad, with the city also hosting all five T20Is. The tour will be concluded by a three-match ODI series to be played at Pune’s MCA stadium.

Both India and England are fresh off Test series wins in Australia and Sri Lanka respectively. While India claimed victory in the final Test at Brisbane to clinch the series 2-1, England completed a 2-0 whitewash over Sri Lanka with wins in both Tests in Galle.
