While the Hardik-led side will play two T20Is on June 26 and 28, the Indian Test team is currently gearing up for the upcoming fifth rescheduled Test against England.
The visitors are currently taking on Leicestershire in a four-day tour game.
The rescheduled fifth Test will be played at the Edgbaston in Birmingham from July 1-5.
India led the series 2-1, before the fifth Test was postponed due to a Covid outbreak in the Indian camp.
Team India will also play three T20Is and three ODIs against England, after the conclusion of the Edgbaston Test.
