London, Sep 5 (CRICKETNMORE):  <\/strong>England will host India for five Tests, three One-day Internationals (ODI) and as many T20 Internationals, starting July 3 next year, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced on Tuesday.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Virat Kohli's men will start their tour with a T20I on July 3 at Old Trafford, which will host the first of three T20Is. The other two will be played at Cardiff and Bristol. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

Following the T20I series, the ODI series begins on July 12 with India set to play the three matches at Trent Bridge, Lord's and Headingley.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

The Test series begins on August 1 at Edgbaston. The remaining four Tests will be played at Lord's, Trent Bridge, Ageas Bowl and The Oval.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Speaking about the India series, ECB Chief Executive Officer Tom Harrison said: "A five-Test series against India is at the heart of next summer's international programme." <\/p>\r\n\r\n

"This is always a much-anticipated contest which attracts a huge following across the globe for the five-day game.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Test match cricket has a strong, consistent and passionate following across England and Wales and the seven summer Tests, starting with the Pakistan matches, are sure to attract good crowds.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

"Alongside these, England's white-ball contests against India, Australia and Scotland will give a fascinating guide to form ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup, to be staged here in 2019," he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

India's last tour of England was in 2014 where they lost the five-match Test series 1-3 despite winning the second Test at Lord's. <\/p>\r\n\r\n

India, however won the ODI series 3-1 despite the first ODI being abandoned. The solitary T20I was won by England.<\/p>\r\n\r\n

Before hosting India, England will play two Tests against Pakistan from May 24-June 5 and travel to Edinburgh for an ODI against Scotland on June 10. They will return to host Australia for a five-match ODI series and a T20I from June 13-27.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
