The Indian cricket team toured England from 24 May to 8 July 1986 for a three-match Test series, and two One Day Internationals (ODIs) for the Texaco Trophy.
India beat England 2–0 in the Test series and won the Texaco Trophy that followed by virtue of faster run-rate despite England having squared the series after losing the first game. India's Dilip Vengsarkar scored a total of 360 runs in the Test series and was named player of the series alongside England's Mike Gatting. In the ODI series, England's David Gower emerged as the top scorer with 81 runs and was named player of the series alongside India's Ravi Shastri.
Also as part of the England tour, India played eight other first-class and seven limited overs games.
The 1986 edition of the Texaco Trophy was a One Day International (ODI) cricket tournament held between England and India in England. India won the first game and England won the second, leveling the series at 1–1. But, by virtue of India's faster run-rate in the two matches, it won the Trophy.
