Indian cricket team full schedule in 2025: From ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to tour of England
Team India will step into 2025 after a mixed 2024 season. The triumph of T20 World Cup 2024 has been followed by the lows of 3-0 whitewash at the hands of New Zealand at home and now two losses in Tests at the hands of Australia at Adelaide and Melbourne.
The year 2025 may well be the year of massive changes in Indian cricket which will unfold as the year wears on. The Indian cricket team will have an action-packed 2025 season starting with the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 in February.
But before India heads to Dubai for the ICC event, they will take on former world champions England in 5 T20I matches and 3 ODI game starting on January 22 at home. It will, of course, be followed by the Champions Trophy – which is hosted by Pakistan but India are going to play all their matches at a neutral venue in Dubai.
Once the Champions Trophy gets over on March 9, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 season will get underway from the middle of March. The World Test Championships 2025 Final is scheduled to take place at Lord’s in June but India are far from qualifying for the title clash.
The Indian will begin a five-match Test series against hosts England on June 20th. It will be India’s first Test match after the New Year’s Test match against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG) this Friday (January 3).
After the tour of England ends in August 2025, India will head to Bangladesh for a limited-overs series featuring 3 ODIs and 3 T20I matches. India are then set to host the Asia Cup 2025 tournament at home which is scheduled to take place from September 2025. It will be interesting to see where Pakistan’s matches will take place, since they have also refused to tour India for an cricket matches.
West Indies will then tour India for two Test matches in the month of October 2025 followed by India’s return to Australia for a limited-overs series featuring 3 ODI and 5 T20I games in October and November 2025.
The year will end with South Africa’s tour of India in November and December 2025 but the final schedule of the tour is yet to be announced by the BCCI and Cricket South Africa.
