India last toured England in 2021, and were leading the series 2-1 under Virat Kohli when the fifth Test was postponed hours before its start and held almost after a year due to the outbreak of Covid-19 concerns in the Indian camp.

Unfortunately, India lost the rescheduled fifth Test under their new captain Rohit Sharma by seven wickets in Birmingham, and settled for a 2-2 draw. India haven't won a Test series in England since 2007 and would be looking to break the jinx next year.

The Indian team might also play the final of WTC 2023-25 just before the start of the series. They are currently sitting on the top of WTC 2023-25 points table, and have a good chance of qualifying for their third successive final.
