The cricket just keeps on coming. For Rohit Sharma and Co, there will be little respite after their T20 World Cup campaign in the Caribbean. A tour of Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka was on the cards already. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Thursday announced India’s 2024/25 home season schedule that includes series against Bangladesh, New Zealand and England.
The season will commence from September 19 with a two-match Test series against Bangladesh, followed by three T20Is.
New Zealand, who last toured India for bilaterals in 2021, will play a three-match Test series starting October 16 that will continue until the first week of November. Following the Black Caps series, India are scheduled to travel to Australia for a much anticipated five-match Test series.
India will play their first series at home next year against England, who featured in a five-Test match series in India earlier this year. The Three Lions will tour India for five T20Is and three ODIs across January and February 2025.
