The India Tour of England 2024 is part of the India cricket schedule which is set to start in August but there are chances that fans might get to see this clash a bit earlier than the scheduled dates. For those wondering how is this possible? the reason is that the ICC Test Championship which started in August 2019 will conclude in June 2024.
Thus the top 2 teams of the table will face each other in the final from 10th June- 14th June 2024.
Currently, India is the topper of the group and England sits at the 3rd position on the table. Moreover, the winner of the ICC Test Championship will go onto become the no.1 Test team in the world. Currently, India is at number 3 and England at number 4 in ICC test men’s ranking.
Shifting back the focus to the upcoming tour to England, then as per reports, the ECB is trying to get the government’s approval to bring in fans to the stadium.
The last time India went to England was back in 2018 at the same duration of the year for the same number of test matches but lost the series humiliatingly 4-1 to the hosts. Though the team would like to mark a solid impression on their turf in the upcoming tour.
