The cancelled match that was supposed to be played at Old Trafford will now be played at now at Edgbaston, starting July 1, 2022, following an agreement between the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
Following the conclusion of the rescheduled Test, India will play three T20Is and three ODIs against England, with the tour concluding on 17 July.
Old Trafford will instead host the second Test when South Africa travel to England for a Test series in August.
“We are very pleased that we have reached an agreement with BCCI to creating a fitting end to what has been a brilliant series so far,” said Tom Harrison, ECB Chief Executive Officer.
“I’m very grateful to all the venues involved for the cooperation they’ve shown in allowing us to reschedule this match. I’d also like to thank Cricket South Africa for their support and understanding to allow these changes to be possible. We would like to apologise again to fans for the disruption and disappointment of September events. We know it was a day that so many had planned long in advance.
