India women to play one-off Test during tour of England in June

The Indian women’s cricket team will take on England in a four-day Test match at the Bristol County Ground, starting on June 16. 

This will be India's first Test match after a wait of more than six years.

India's last Test match was against South Africa in Mysore in 2014, which they won by an innings and 34 runs. Mithali Raj was captain then.

Meanwhile, the Indian women’s team tour of England also features three ODIs and three T20Is.

The England Cricket Board (ECB) also announced that the England women’s cricket team will lock horns with New Zealand for a three-match T20I rubber, alongside a five-match ODI series.

England Women announce their home summer schedule, which also involves a one-off Test against India.
