The England Cricket Board (ECB) have announced details of the national team's home series against West Indies and India next year.
England's busy itinerary kicks off with four Tests against the West Indies followed by two Twenty20 matches and three one-dayers between May 17 and July 7, the ECB said in a statement.
India feature in three Tests and seven one-dayers between July 19 and September 8.
The three Tests, one less than the previous tour in 2002, were decided as a reciprocal step after England played the same number of Tests and seven ODI's during their 2006 tour of India.
India also did not figure in a Twenty20 contest because they were not playing games under the format when the schedule was agreed, the ECB's director for England Cricket John Carr said.
