The fifth and final Test between India and England, which was suspended due to a COVID-19 outbreak last month, was on Friday rescheduled to July next year, a decision that has pushed the start of a limited-overs series between the two sides by six days.

The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) announced that the game has been moved to Edgbaston from Manchester and will be a part of India's white-ball tour. The game, which was called off after COVID-19 cases erupted in the Indian contingent, will be held from July 1.

"With India leading the series 2-1, the concluding fifth match will now take place from July 1, 2022, at Edgbaston," said the ECB in a statement.
