The Indian cricket team is set for a busy month in July, with two overseas assignments lined up across T20I and ODI formats. The England tour will also mark the return of Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah to the limited-overs setup after missing the previous ODI series due to injury and workload management, respectively.
Before the July action begins, India will travel to Ireland for a two-match T20I series in June. The opening match is scheduled for June 26 and will be Shreyas Iyer's first series as India's T20 captain. The spotlight will also be on young batting sensation Vaibhav Suryavanshi, whose inclusion in the playing XI is expected to be one of the key selection decisions.
Team India will play a total of 11 international matches during July. The schedule includes five T20Is and three ODIs against England, followed by a three-match T20I series against Zimbabwe. No Test matches are scheduled during the month.
