India vs England 2026: Full T20I & ODI Schedule, Squads, Captains and Match Details
India’s tour of England 2026 is scheduled to take place from July 1 to July 19, 2026, with five T20 Internationals and three ODIs to be played across eight venues in England and Wales. India are entering the tour as the reigning T20 World Cup champions, but the team looks refreshed.
Shreyas Iyer has taken over the T20 International captaincy from Suryakumar Yadav, while Shubman Gill continues to lead the ODI team. The change in leadership gives Shreyas his first opportunity to captain India in the shortest format. Teenage batting prodigy Vaibhav Suryavanshi has also earned his first senior national call-up.
The selectors, led by captain Ajit Agarkar, met on June 6 to finalise the squads for both tours. The same T20 International squads have been selected for the Ireland and England series. India’s ODI squad was announced on 21 June, with Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah returning to the ODI set-up.
For England captain Harry Brooke, the T20I series comes immediately after the Test series against New Zealand and presents a different challenge. Brooke will look to bowl over the reigning T20 World Champions in the five-match competition.
On 23 June, Nitish Kumar Reddy was ruled out of the England tour due to a left quadriceps injury. The all-rounder will spend at least a month at the BCCI’s Centre of Excellence in Bengaluru as part of his rehabilitation. Suryansh Shedge was later brought into the squad in Reddy’s place for the tours of Ireland and England.

India Tour Of England 2026: Key Insights
New Indian T20 captain Shreyas Iyer will lead the team in England, with Tilak Verma serving as his deputy. Kishore Vaibhav Suryavanshi is also part of India’s T20 squad for the tour.
Star fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah has been rested and will not be part of the Indian squad for the England T20I series to be played from July 1 to 11. In Bumrah’s absence, Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana, who are back after missing the T20 World Cup 2026 and IPL due to knee injuries, are expected to shoulder a major portion of the pace-bowling workload in the English conditions.
Prince Yadav, who impressed with 16 wickets for Lucknow Super Giants in IPL 2026, also adds depth to the pace options along with the renowned Krishna. Experienced fast bowler Mohammed Siraj was initially included in the squad but Krishna was later replaced. Suryansh Shedge has also received his first call-up in place of the injured Nitish Kumar Reddy.
The BCCI said in a statement that Kohli, who suffered a hamstring injury during the IPL 2026 final in Ahmedabad, will be made available for the series only after receiving the necessary fitness clearance.
As part of the tour, India will play five T20 matches against England. The opening match will be played at the Riverside Ground in Chester-le-Street on July 1, followed by the second match at Old Trafford in Manchester on July 4. The remaining three T20 matches will be played in Nottingham, Bristol and Southampton on July 7, 9 and 11 respectively. The tour will then progress to a three-match ODI series.
