The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed that Chennai and Ahmedabad will be the two host venues for the four-Test series during England's tour of India in 2021. 

Chennai will host the first 2 Tests between India and England in February 2021 while Ahmedabad will host a day-night Test and the 4th Test along with all T20Is of a 5-match series. Also, a 3-match ODI series will be played in Pune too.

This will be India's first bilateral series at home since the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic and the home season will bring back joy to cricket fans," BCCI secretary added.
