India cricket schedule 2025 News

Team India’s action-packed schedule post the England Test series promises thrilling cricket across all formats. Kicking off with the Asia Cup 2025 in September, including a high-voltage clash against Pakistan, India’s calendar features marquee series against West Indies, Australia, South Africa, and New Zealand. While the Bangladesh tour stands postponed, a potential Sri Lanka series may fill the gap. With constant format switches, packed home and away fixtures, and key matches at iconic venues, India’s roadmap to the 2026 ICC T20 World Cup is intense. Fans can expect high-stakes rivalries, squad rotation, and strategic experimentation in coming months.

A recent report suggests the BCCI may opt out of the Asia Cup 2025 and the Women's Emerging Teams Asia Cup, both scheduled in Pakistan. The move reportedly stems from India’s discomfort with Pakistan’s Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi becoming ACC President. No official statement has been made yet. If confirmed, India’s absence could severely impact the tournament’s commercial value, especially with no India vs Pakistan clash. Broadcasters like Sony may face major setbacks. The situation mirrors India's stance during Asia Cup 2023 and casts doubt on future ACC events, including the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, also set to be hosted by Pakistan.

The BCCI has suspended IPL 2025 due to rising India-Pakistan tensions, with only 16 matches left in the tournament. A September window has emerged as the most likely option for resumption, following India’s England and Bangladesh tours. The gap before the West Indies series provides a narrow but feasible window for completion. The situation mirrors IPL 2021, which successfully resumed post-suspension. Fans are actively searching for updates on revised fixtures, while stakeholders support the delay. With significant financial stakes involved, the BCCI is expected to finalize a new schedule soon, ensuring minimal disruption and a strong finish to IPL 2025.

For Rohit and Kohli, the break is more than just a pause; it’s a chance to recalibrate and silence critics.
