India in England 2014

England-India 2014 Dates Announced

London: England have announced the itinerary for India's tour next summer, with Test matches at Trent Bridge, Lord's, Southampton, Old Trafford and The Oval.

It will be the first time that India have played a five-Test series in England since 1959.

After the Tests, there will be five one-day internationals and a Twenty20 international, finishing on September 07.

Sri Lanka are due to tour in May and June, with the exact dates expected to be announced later this week.

Venues were allocated for the 2014 internationals several years ago.

The Test at Southampton - the second to be staged at the Ageas Bowl, which is currently undergoing redevelopment, with a hotel being built at the northern end - is "subject to confirmation following a final facility inspection".

The ODIs against India will be held at Bristol, Cardiff, Trent Bridge, Edgbaston (which will also host the T20 international) and Headingley.

India will also play tow -- three-day warm-up games against Leicestershire and Derbyshire and a 50-over match with Middlesex.

England won the Test series 4-0 that year on the way to becoming the number one-ranked side in the world, and took the ODI series 3-0.

Last year, new captain Alastair Cook led England to a 2-1 Test series win in India, although India won the ODIs 3-2 in January, and then beat England in the ICC Champions Trophy final at Edgbaston in June.
