England Women to play in T20I tri-series in India in March and April

England Women will play India and Australia in a T20I tri-series in Mumbai in March and April next year.

Heather Knight's side - named Team of the Year at the BBC Sports Personality of the Year Awards following their World Cup win at Lord's in July - kick off their series on March 24 with a game against Australia.

England will then play India on March 26, Australia again on March 30, and round off the league phase with a second game against India on April 1, before the top two sides meet in the final on April 3.

Knight's team will then remain in the country for a three-match ODI series against India, the side they beat in the World Cup final, with games scheduled for April 8, 11 and 14.

England had already announced their home schedule for 2018, featuring ODI series against South Africa and New Zealand and a T20I tri-series against both nations.
