After clinching the T20 World Cup 2024, Team India is set for a packed schedule of cricketing action. The Indian team, led by the dynamic duo of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, will have a busy calendar leading up to the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
According to the schedule, after the T20 World Cup 2024, the Indian team will play a total of six bilateral series until February 2025. Out of these, three series will be played abroad and three on home soil. Additionally, the Indian team will play two ODI series during this period.
One ODI series will be in Sri Lanka, and the other ODI series will be at home against England, right before the Champions Trophy in February 2025. This leaves the Indian team with only six ODI matches to prepare and build a strong team for the Champions Trophy.
