India and England have faced each other 24 times in T20Is, with India holding a slight advantage with 13 wins to England's 11. However, India has won five of the last seven T20I encounters between the two teams since 2021. Their last T20I clash occurred in the semi-finals of the 2024 ICC Men's T20 Cricket World Cup, where India secured a memorable victory.
Pacer Mohammad Shami will make his much-anticipated return to the Indian squad after being sidelined due to injury since November 2023. Suryakumar Yadav will lead the team as skipper, with Axar Patel taking on the role of vice-captain for the series.
The series will begin in Kolkata and then move to Chennai, Rajkot, Pune, and Mumbai for the remaining matches. The final T20I will take place in Mumbai on February 2. Following the T20I series, the teams will compete in a three-match ODI series starting February 6, that will give fans a peek into India’s preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
