The Indian team will now play a 3-match T20 series (IND vs ENG T20I) against England. The first match of the series will be played at the Rose Bowl Stadium in Southampton on 7th July i.e. Thursday.

After the defeat in the rescheduled 5th Test at Edgbaston, Team India will now aim to start the T20 series with a win.

The Indian team lost by 7 wickets in the 5th Test match of the series at Edgbaston, Birmingham. With this, the 5-match Test series between the two countries ended in a 2-2 draw.

This series was to be completed last year itself but it was postponed due to the ever-increasing corona cases in the Indian camp.
