Indian Men's Cricket Team Full Schedule 2026: Check Dates, Times, Venues And More

2025 proved to be a memorable year for the Indian men’s cricket team. From lifting the ICC Champions Trophy to witnessing the retirement of two of their finest batters – Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma – from Test cricket, the year was packed with defining moments. It also marked the arrival of Shubman Gill the Test batter and captain, while the next generation continued to make all the right noises.

The focus will shift in 2026, a year set to be dominated by white-ball cricket. India are scheduled to play just five Tests over the next 12 months, with a heavy dose of T20 action on the horizon, including the World Cup and the IPL. Attention will also be firmly on the ODI format, especially with Kohli and Rohit now featuring exclusively in one-day

cricket for India.
