They played three Tests against the Pakistan cricket team, with England earning the first match and drawing the other two, and five Test matches against the national cricket team of India, with India winning two matches and drawing the other three.

The schedule was unusual in that England started in Pakistan with three games, including the first Test in Lahore, before traveling to India for a lengthy Five-Test tour before playing their second Test against Pakistan in East Pakistan (currently Bangladesh), where they played in Dacca. Before wrapping off the trip in February with 3 games in Ceylon, they headed to Karachi for the third Test match against Pakistan at the National Stadium. In this tour to India, there were a total of 5 Tests 3 of them ended in a draw and 2 were won by team India.

From December 1972 to March 1973, the Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC) organized a trip to India, Pakistan, & Sri Lanka for the England national cricket team. The squad played a five-match Test series against the India team before playing three Tests against the Pakistan team. Tony Lewis led England as their captain. The Sri Lankan national cricket squad only competed in one first-class match against MCC in Colombo since they were not Test-qualified at the time. In this tour to India, there were a total of 5 Tests, and 2 of them ended in a draw and India won the 5 test series by 2-1.

1976-77 Series

During the 1976–1977 cricket season, a cricket team from England visited India and Sri Lanka under the auspices of the Marylebone Cricket Club. They engaged in five Test matches against the Indian national cricket team, winning three, losing one, and drawing the fifth. The MCC squad played four games in Sri Lanka after departing India, but Sri Lanka was yet to become a Test-class team. England won the 5 test series by 3-1, one was drawn.

1981-82 Series

From 11 November 1981 – 4 February 1982, the England cricket team visited India and competed in 6 Test matches. The Test series was won 1-0 by India, five were drawn.

1984-85 Series

The England cricket team visited India in 1984–1985 and competed against India in five Test matches and five One-Day International matches. Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was killed shortly after they came to India, making it impossible for cricket to be played there for a few weeks. As a result, the English team travelled to Sri Lanka to play a few warm-up games.

The visit was on the verge of being cancelled when Percy Norris, the deputy high commissioner for Western India, was shot and killed in Bombay on November 27—the day after holding a reception for the English team. The 5 Test series was won 2-1 by England, two were drawn.

1992-93 Series

In January, February, and March 1993, the England cricket team visited India. England's underwhelming performances and results during the trip sparked criticism, with factors like player selection, tour management, Indian food and climate, airport labor disputes, and even players' facial hair being held responsible.

In terms of team selection, the main issue was the exclusion of David Gower, who had scored over 50 in the series against Pakistan the summer before. Dermot Reeve, who was brought in as a replacement, ended up not even playing in the Test series. The official justification for Gower's exclusion from the team was that he was "too old," but given that seasoned players Mike Gatting & John Emburey were both going despite having just served bans for participating in apartheid-era cricket in South Africa, this appeared very illogical.

Concerns concerning it were even brought up in Parliament, and the MCC called a special general meeting, but they had little impact, as Gower was just in India to serve as a media spokesperson. Below this outrage was the extra absence of Jack Russell, who was chosen over the mostly unnoticed Richard Blakey despite Russell being widely regarded as England's greatest wicketkeeper.

After a disappointing tour to South Africa that caused the Indian media to question his leadership, Indian captain Mohammad Azharuddin was also under a lot of criticism going into the series. However, the tone shifted following his match-winning effort in the first Test. With the same lineup throughout, India won the Test series 3-0, and the ODI series ended in a three-game tie.

2001-02 Series

In 2001–2002, the England cricket team visited India and competed against India in a six-match ODI & three-match Test series. The schedule for the tour was released on September 12th, 2001. Before the Test series, England was scheduled to play three three-day tour matches and three one-day games. Because the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) demanded that the final ODI be played at the Eden Grounds in Kolkata, the five-match ODI series was expanded to six games. India won the 3 test match series by 1-0, two were drawn.

2005-06 Series

In February, March, & April 2006, the England cricket team visited India. The England cricket team wanted to keep up the form that enabled them to defeat Australia at home in the 2005 Ashes series and propel them to second position in the ICC Test Championship before their catastrophic run against Pakistan. Seven ODIs and three Test matches were scheduled. Rain caused one ODI to be cancelled. Team India the ODI series 5-1 while the Test series ended in a 1-1 tie.

2008-09 Series

From 9 November to 23 December 2008, the England cricket team played 5 ODIs and 2 Test matches while on tour in India. India won the series 5-0 after the last two one-day international matches against them were postponed because of the attacks in Mumbai on November 26.

The Test matches were shifted from Ahmedabad & Mumbai to Chennai & Mohali as a consequence of the Mumbai Attacks. England took a flight home before traveling to Abu Dhabi for a training camp. The England squad opted to take part in the two-match Test series on December 7 and left for Chennai the following day. India won the 2-test match series by 1-0, one was drawn.

2012-13 Series

The cricket team from England visited India from October 30, 2012, to January 27, 2013. Four Test matches, five ODIS, and two Twenty20 matches made up the tour. England won the 4 test match series by 2-1, one was drawn. The 2-1 Test series victory by England was their first in India since the 1984–85 tour. Michael Vaughan, a former captain of England, claimed that the series win was more significant than Australia's 2010–11 Ashes success.

2016-17 Series

Between November 2016 to January 2017, the England cricket team travelled to India to compete in five Tests, three ODIs, & three T20I games. The tour's dates were announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in July 2016.

Moreover, they ended the year with nine Test victories, which is a record for India.
