India will host England for three ODIs in April as part of the ICC Women’s Championship, the BCCI announced. The matches will be played on April 8, 11 and 14. The ODI series will be played after the T20 tri-series also involving England and Australia. India had narrowly lost to England in the World Cup final in June.

“The England Women’s Cricket Team that will tour India in March 2018 to take part in the T20I Tri-Series featuring India Women and Australia Women will also play a three-match ODI series as part of a bilateral agreement between the two Boards. The ODI series between India Women and England Women will be played after the completion of the T20I series,” announced BCCI in their media release.

It was announced earlier that India will host Australia for a three-match ODI series from March 12 to 18. India play their ICC Women’s Championship opener in South Africa from February 5 to 10. They have not played since the loss in the World Cup final.
