The [[England national cricket team]] toured India in 2001-02, playing a three-match [[Test cricket|Test series]] and six-match ODI series versus [[India national cricket team|India]].

== Background ==
The tour schedule was announced on 12 September 2001. England were to play three three-day tour games ahead of the Test series and three one-day games before the ODI series.<ref>{{cite news |title=Schedule for England's tour of India 2001-02 |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/schedule-for-england-s-tour-of-india-2001-02-110377 |access-date=28 January 2021 |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=12 September 2001 |language=en}}</ref> The five-match ODI series was converted into a six-match affair after a demand by the [[Board of Control for Cricket in India]] (BCCI) to play the final ODI at the [[Eden Gardens]] in [[Kolkata]]. After an initial disagreement, the [[England and Wales Cricket Board]] agreed to the demand after the BCCI was reported as saying that India would not honour their commitment to play four Tests [[Indian cricket team in England in 2002|in England next summer]].<ref>{{cite news |last1=Dellor |first1=Ralph |title=England agree to extra one-day international in India |url=https://www.espncricinfo.com/story/england-agree-to-extra-one-day-international-in-india-98187 |access-date=28 January 2021 |work=ESPNcricinfo |date=28 December 2001 |language=en}}</ref>
