LONDON — Lord's will stage a women's test match for the first time when England hosts India at the home of cricket in 2026. The storied London venue has hosted England Women's games in the limited-overs formats in each of the last three seasons but never a test match. It has yet to be announced whether the test will be a four or five-day match. Richard Gould, chief executive of the England and Wales Cricket Board, says it will be a "truly special occasion, and one of real significance for the game."
