Historic First: Lord's to Stage Women's Test Match.

England and India will meet in the first-ever women's Test match at Lord's in 2026.

This will be England's first home Test since the 2023 Ashes series, where Australia triumphed at Trent Bridge. Unlike the typical four-day women's format, the duration of the Lord's Test is still to be confirmed.

Heather Knight's team played against India in Mumbai in December 2023 and will also tour South Africa this winter. 

Additionally, they will participate in a Test during the 2025 Ashes series at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Women's Tests are infrequent and generally part of longer white-ball series.
