India men's cricket 2025 full schedule: Champions Trophy, England Tests, Asia Cup and more

The year 2024 turned out to be a mixed bag for the Indian men's cricket team, and we hope that 2025 will give us several highs as we will see India compete in the Champions Trophy, five Tests against England, and the Asia Cup. Rohit Sharma and co's 2024 came to a heartbreaking end as India went down by 184 runs against Australia in the Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Since winning the T20 World Cup in the Caribbean, India did not get the desired results. India will be playing 18 T20Is, 10 Tests and 12 ODIs in bilateral series, outside the ICC and ACC commitments. . AP/PTI(AP12_08_2024_000101B)(AP)

ODI series loss against Sri Lanka and home Test series loss against New Zealand are two of the major lows for Indian men's cricket. In Tests, India registered eight wins, six losses and a draw in 15 matches in 2024.

India just played one ODI series in 2024, and they went down against Sri Lanka in the three-match series.

India will begin 2025 with the last Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia at the Sydney Cricket Ground. Rohit Sharma and his team need to win this match to remain in contention for the World Test Championship (WTC) final. A loss or draw would knock them out.

After the Sydney Test, the focus will shift to the Champions Trophy. India will play their matches in Dubai and they will start off their campaign on February 20 against Bangladesh.

Before the Champions Trophy, India will first play 5 T20Is and three ODIs against England, beginning January 22. Later in the year, India are also slated to travel to England for a five-match Test series, and this will open their fourth World Test Championship cycle.

India's eventual home season is slated to begin in October 2024 with the Asia Cup and two Tests against the West Indies.

In 2025, India will be playing 18 T20Is, 10 Tests and 12 ODIs in bilateral series outside the ICC and ACC commitments.
