The ENG vs IND T20I series will begin on July 1.

India are on a tour of the UK for the white-ball series. It started with two T20Is against Ireland. The Men in Blue will now play a five-match T20I series and a three-match ODI series against England.

Shreyas Iyer and Co. are set to clash with England from July 1st. The first match is to be played in Chester-le-Street. They are coming into this series after a crushing defeat at the hands of Ireland.

Indian team lost to Ireland 2-0. In the two matches in Belfast, India chose to bowl first and failed to chase in both games. They lost by 34 runs and 1 run, respectively. The T20 World Cup 2026 champions lost a series against Ireland for the first time.

All eyes will be on whether young gun Vaibhav Sooryavanshi gets his debut cap in this series against England. Moreover, it will be an important set of matches for the skipper Shreyas Iyer, who is yet to announce his arrival as a leader in the T20I side.

Harry Brook will captain England, and Shreyas Iyer will lead the Men in Blue. The two teams last met in the semi-final of the ICC T20 World Cup 2026 in Wankhede, where India had won by 7 runs.

The fans will be excited to watch the T20 World Cup winners in action and how they bounce back after a terrible defeat. On that note, let’s know the timings of the ENG vs IND T20Is.
