The ICC Champions Trophy, set to be played in Pakistan and the United Arab Emirates in February-March, will see India look to reclaim the title they last won in 2013 under MS Dhoni.
The Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025 will dominate India’s cricket calendar from March to May, with no international fixtures scheduled during the window.
India’s WTC 2025-27 campaign will kick off with a five-match Test series in England in June.

The ICC Women’s ODI World Cup will be hosted in India with the dates and venues still to be confirmed. Harmanpreet Kaur’s side will have the perfect stage to claim their maiden ICC trophy. The team has finished as the runners-up twice before in the ODI World Cup.
