India Women vs England Women One-Off Test 2026, All You Need To Know: Women’s cricket is on the verge of a watershed moment as Lord’s is all set to host the first-ever women’s Test in its 142-year history. It has been home to many memorable men’s Test matches but this historic occasion is a landmark for the women’s game as India Women take on England Women in a prestigious one-off red-ball contest.
Both the teams are keen to switch their focus to the longest format after dismal outings in the recently concluded ICC Women’s T20 World Cup. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side will take confidence from their good Test record against England, having not lost any of their nine previous Tests on English soil. India had also won the last face-off between the two sides, clinching a huge 347-run win in Navi Mumbai in December 2023.
England, on the other hand, will be looking to make history at home under the captaincy of Nat Sciver-Brunt. The contest takes on further poignancy as veteran batter Tammy Beaumont prepares to bring the curtain down on her illustrious international career after this landmark fixture. The hosts will rely heavily on experienced names like Sophie Ecclestone, Heather Knight and Lauren Bell to challenge an Indian batting unit featuring Smriti Mandhana, Shafali Verma and Jemimah Rodrigues.
India have suffered an injury setback ahead of the contest with promising opener Pratika Rawal ruled out. Priya Punia has been drafted into the squad as her replacement and could make an immediate impact if selected in the playing XI.
With history, pride and momentum all on the line, the four-day clash promises to be one of the biggest moments in women’s Test cricket.
