, England cricket fixtures 2021: India series – TV channel, live stream info and Test, ODI and full T20 schedule

ENGLAND are now setting their sights on India after beating Sri Lanka in a terrific series.

Joe Root‘s men were only able to play nine Test matches in the last 12 months, but outplayed the hosts in Galle on a spinning deck.

Root will lead England’s Test team into a huge 2021

With The Ashes in Australia coming up at the end of the year, England will be hoping to gain some momentum before heading Down Under.

What TV channel is England’s series in India on – Channel 4 or Sky Sports?

Channel 4 have won the rights to air the India vs England series in the UK ahead of Sky Sports.

Channel 4 last broadcast cricket 15 years ago and had been in drawn out talks with Indian host broadcaster Star Sports, who initially wanted exclusive rights to stream the series in the UK.

But they have seen common sense and are happy for the series to be hosted by a British broadcaster, describing the offer from C4 as “compelling”.

Channel 4 now have the rights for the four tests, five Twenty20s and three one day internationals.
