India’s 2024 calendar year came to a agonising end as Rohit Sharma’s side tumbled in the Boxing Day Test, suffering a 184-run defeat against Australia at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Monday.
India thereby ended their 2024 calendar year with a bag of mixed results across formats with the T20I team shining the brightest. India lifted the T20 World Cup in June and finished with a commanding record of 22 wins from 26 matches. In their only ODI series of the year in Sri Lanka, India suffered a 2-1 defeat before finishing their Test season with eight wins, six losses and a draw in 15 matches.
Looking ahead to 2025, India will face Australia in the final Test of the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy series in Sydney from January 3. Here is a look at the complete schedule of the Indian men’s cricket schedule
India will prepare for the Champions Trophy, scheduled to be held in a hybrid model in the UAE in February with a limited-overs series against England, starting mid-January. Post the Champions Trophy and the IPL 2025 season, India will travel to England for a five-match Test series that will open their fourth World Test Championship cycle. India’s home season is slated to begin in October, with the Asia Cup T20 tournament and two Tests against West Indies in October. They will also travel to Australia for three ODIs and five T20Is in October-November before finishing the 2025 season with an all-format home series against South Africa.
India will play 18 T20Is, 9 Tests and 12 ODIs in bi-lateral assignments outside the ICC and ACC tournaments.
