India to Play Four Tests in England in 2011

Mumbai: India will tour England for Test, ODI and Twenty20 series after the cricket world Cup in the sub-continent next year.

The four-match Test rubber will begin at Lord's on July 21 while the fourth and final Test at The Oval will be held from August 18, the ECB announced on Thursday.

A one-off T20 is scheduled to take place on August 31 and would be followed by the best-of-five ODI series between the two teams from September 3-16.

Sri Lanka would visit England prior to India for a similar tour.

ECB Chief Executive David Collier said that the fans in England can expect two high quality series against India and Sri Lanka.

"With India currently the number one ranked Test side in the ICC Test Rankings and Sri Lanka in third place, England supporters can expect to see two exciting npower Test Series against high quality opposition," he said.

"Both teams will also provide a tough challenge for England in the shorter forms of the game in what promises to be a highly competitive and entertaining summer of international cricket all round," he added.
