The rescheduled fifth Test will conclude the five-match Test series that was postponed last year following a COVID-19 outbreak in the Indian camp.
Interestingly, both teams will see new faces lead the side for the final game. While Rohit Sharma will step in Kohli's shoes after being named as the Test captain, Ben Stokes will do the same for England after Joe Root had stepped down from his role earlier this year.
On the other side, the Ireland-bound squad under VVS Laxman will leave for Dublin either on June 23 or June 24 as the team members have been given a three-day rest, following the conclusion of the T20I series against South Africa
India are scheduled to play two T20Is against Ireland on June 26 and June 28.
