After the conclusion of IPL 2025, the Indian cricket team will tour England for a Test series. The tour will feature one warm-up match followed by five international Test matches. The Indian Premier League has come to a thrilling conclusion with Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) emerging as champions! In a high-stakes final, RCB showcased a dominant performance to defeat Punjab Kings (PBKS) and lift their maiden IPL trophy.
Interestingly, the last series before the IPL also involved a contest between India and England, but that one was held on Indian soil. It comprised five T20 Internationals and three One Day Internationals, where India emerged dominant, clinching the T20 series 4-1 and sweeping the ODI series 3-0. This time, the focus shifts to red-ball cricket, as India prepares to face England in their home conditions for a challenging Test series.
