England will play 12 international matches -- four Tests, three One-day Internationals, and five Twenty20s -- on their tour of India in February-March, and Ahmedabad will host seven of those, including a pink ball day-night Test. All the matches will be played at only three venues -- Chennai and Pune are the others -- and in bio-secure environment due to Corona pandemic, it was announced on Thursday.

The tour will be take place between February 9 and March 28, according to the itinerary jointly released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB). The England team will travel to India straight from Sri Lanka, where they will play two Tests.
