Kent Cricket have announced that England Lions will face India A in a four-day match between 30th May and 2nd June at The Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence in Canterbury.
Up-and-coming international players from both nations will contest the first match in a two-game series at the Home of Kent Cricket, as a part of the India Test team’s tour of England this Summer.
The Rothesay Men’s Test series between England Men and India Men begins at Headingley on Friday 20th June.
Tickets for each day’s play are priced as £16 for adults and £5 for Under 14s, with complimentary entry for all 2025 Kent Members as part of their Membership offering for this Summer.
The last England Lions match at The Spitfire Ground took place against South Africa in 2022, with the likes of England’s Ben Duckett and Harry Brook both scoring centuries.
Kent Cricket’s CEO, Simon Storey, said: “We’re excited to be hosting an India team here at The Spitfire Ground against the backdrop of India Men’s Test Series with England.
“It’ll be a great fixture for us, with international names on both sides playing right here in Canterbury. We have a proven track record of creating great experiences of International cricket in Canterbury, as shown by our feedback received from our Women’s International fixtures over the past few years.
“With Canterbury just an hour’s journey by train from London, we hope to welcome fans of both sides make the most of this unique opportunity to watch an England vs. India representative fixture at the historic Spitfire Ground, St Lawrence.
“We’ve already had huge interest for hospitality places where, to mark the fixture, Chris Cowdrey, David Gower and Deep Dasgupta will be hosting an exclusive England vs India Legends Event, in partnership with Vodafone.”
