The Board of Cricket Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has written to their English counterparts asking for the Test series between India and England to be rescheduled to start a week earlier than planned with an eye on creating a window for the remainder of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 season. The BCCI wants the five match Test series in the UK to begin a week before the original date for the first Test -- August 4. The England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) is yet to respond to the BCCI request.
