This series will span from June to August, aligning with the English summer cricket season. As a result, the series may overlap with The Hundred, potentially leading to some English players missing the white-ball tournament due to their national duties.
Meanwhile, India’s team, led by Rohit Sharma, is preparing to face Bangladesh in two Tests and three T20Is in September and October. This upcoming series is crucial for India as it is part of the ongoing World Test Championship cycle.
