The international schedule for Lord’s was released last year. England will play their first ever Women’s Rothesay Test Match at the Ground when they welcome India in July, which will cap a celebration of the women’s game this summer, as it follows the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.

Lord’s plays host to three group matches in the tournament, with England facing West Indies, South Africa meeting one of the qualifying nations, and Australia taking on India. The final will take place at Lord’s on Sunday 5 July.

England’s men will face both New Zealand in June and Pakistan in August in Rothesay Test Matches, and welcome India to Lord’s for a Metro Bank One-Day International in July.
