Indian Cricket Schedule 2025: ICC Events and Bilateral Series Dominate Action-Packed Year
The Indian cricket schedule for 2025 promises a year full of excitement, headlined by two major ICC tournaments: the ICC Women’s ODI Cricket World Cup and the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy. Both the men’s and women’s teams will also participate in a variety of bilateral series across formats, making it an action-packed year for cricket fans. The Indian men’s cricket team will kickstart the year by concluding the World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25 cycle with a Test against Australia in Sydney. Their first home series will begin on January 22, featuring England in a five-match T20I and three-match ODI series. The ICC Champions Trophy, scheduled for February-March in Pakistan and the UAE, will see India aiming to recapture the title they last won in 2013 under MS Dhoni’s leadership. The Indian Premier League (IPL) will take center stage from March to May, with no international fixtures scheduled during this period. India’s WTC 2025-27 campaign will commence with a challenging five-match Test series in England in June. On the women’s front, the Indian team will play a three-match ODI series against Ireland in January before the Women’s Premier League (WPL) in February-March. Later in the year, India will host the ICC Women’s ODI Cricket World Cup, providing Harmanpreet Kaur and her team the perfect opportunity to claim their first ICC title after finishing runners-up twice in the past. With bilateral series at home and abroad, ICC tournaments, and marquee domestic leagues like the IPL and WPL, 2025 is set to be a year of thrilling cricket action for Indian fans.
