Template:Infobox cricket tour The India women's cricket team toured England to play the England women's cricket team in June and July 2021.[1] On International Women's Day 2021, Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), stated that the India team would play a one-off Women's Test match against the England team.[2][3] India women last played a Test match in November 2014, against South Africa.[4] In April 2021, the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) confirmed the fixtures for the tour, including the one-off Test match, three Women's One Day International (WODI) and three Women's Twenty20 International (WT20I) matches.[5][6]

A points-based system was used across all three formats of the tour,[7] with four points for winning the Test match, two points if the Test was drawn, and two points for each win in the limited overs matches.[8]

The one-off Test match ended in a draw,[9] despite England making a big first-innings lead and enforcing the follow-on.[10] England won the first WODI by eight wickets to record their 100th win at home in the format.[11] England then won the second WODI match by five wickets,[12] to win the series with a game to spare.[13] India won the final WODI by four wickets, with England taking the series 2–1.[14] England won the first WT20I, with India winning the second match.[15] Therefore, England took an 8–6 lead in the points-based system into the final match of the tour.[16] England won the third WT20I by eight wickets,[17] to win the WT20I series 2–1 and to win 10–6 in the points-based system.[18]

During the third WODI match, India's Mithali Raj became the leading run-scorer in women's international cricket.[19] She went past Charlotte Edwards' previous record of 10,273 runs.[20]

Background

Originally, the tour was scheduled to take place in June and July 2020.[21] The tour was to consist of four WODIs and two WT20Is.[22] However, on 24 April 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the ECB confirmed that no professional cricket would be played in England before 1 July 2020,[23] with the tour being postponed.[24] In May 2020, Clare Connor, the Director of Cricket for the ECB, suggested that India could take part in a tri-series with the touring South African team during September 2020.[25][26] However, on 20 July 2020, reports stated that India would not tour, due to the impact of the pandemic in India.[27]

The Test match was played on a used pitch from a men's game in the 2021 t20 Blast from the previous week.[28] The ECB later apologised for the situation.[29]

On 9 June 2021, England named a squad of 17 players for the one-off Test match.[36] Two days later, Freya Davies and Sarah Glenn were released from the squad allowing them to play in the 2021 Rachael Heyhoe Flint Trophy ahead of England's one-day matches.[37]
