Lord's to host historic women's Test match in 2026
The dates for the historic fixture were announced by the England and Wales Cricket Board on Thursday as part of the full 2026 home schedule for both the men's and women's teams. England women's last home Test, in 2023, ended in defeat to Australia at Trent Bridge in a match played over five days, but the India game will revert to the usual women's format of four days, played from July 10 to 13. The team also has white-ball series against New Zealand, India and Ireland. England's men will face New Zealand in a three-match Test series in June, with three Tests to follow against Pakistan, starting in August. The white-ball team take on India in July in five T20s and three one-day internationals, with Sri Lanka visiting in September.

Hampshire spinner Liam Dawson replaces the injured Shoaib Bashir. This will be Dawson's first Test appearance since July 2017," read the statement from England cricket. Over the years, Dawson has made himself a globetrotter, taking part in various T20 leagues. However, he brings in a wealth of experience in first-class cricket, as he has scored 10731 runs and picked up wickets 371 wickets in 212 matches. Harry Brook commented on the return of Dawson and called him a 'wily old fox', whose experience will be vital for the hosts. "Yeah, absolutely. He's a wily old fox, very experienced, he's a very skilful cricketer as well, and he's played everywhere, played against everyone, so hopefully he can have an amazing performance this week," said Brook during the press conference.
