Today’s announcement by the England and Wales Cricket Board also included the historic news that Lord’s will host its first ever women’s Test match, between England and India, in 2026 [link sentence to WTM26 story].
In 2025, England will welcome India from Thursday 10 July for the third men’s Test in the five-match series between the sides. India will be hoping for a repeat of their last Test match visit to Lord’s in 2021, when they defeated England by 151 runs.
England’s women will play host to India on Saturday 19 July, in a One-Day International. The two sides met at Lord’s in the same format in 2022, in what was the final match of India bowler Jhulan Goswami’s decorated international career.
We round off a fantastic summer of international cricket on Thursday 4 September with a men’s Day/Night ODI between England and South Africa. It will be the Proteas’ first visit to Lord’s to play England in this format since 2017 when they triumphed by seven wickets.
“The announcement of our international fixtures is always an exciting day for the Club, our Members and cricket supporters, home and away.”
Guy Lavender, Chief Executive & Secretary of MCC, said: “It is a privilege for us to host international cricket at Lord’s involving England’s men’s and women’s sides and we’re hugely honoured and excited to be adding the ICC World Test Championship Final to our international fixture list next year. It is the perfect setting for the final of any international tournament, and this will be a wonderful spectacle.
“The confirmation of these matches really whets the appetite for another unforgettable summer of cricket at the Ground and we look forward to opening our gates to everyone to enjoy all that Lord’s has to offer.”
