Know Indian cricket team’s full international schedule till February 2027

India faces a packed cricket calendar for the next 12 months after the end of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026. There could be additional games being potentially lined up in Ireland, Sri Lanka, and Zimbabwe, apart from the scheduled engagements in England, the UAE, Bangladesh, Japan, and a full slate of games at home. They are currently the T20 World Cup 2026 winning side. 

The Suryakumar Yadav-led side may also play three more T20Is in July-August in addition to the two Tests already part of the Future Tours Program (FTP). It has been learnt that the BCCI would be considering a request from the Sri Lanka Cricket to arrange the T20Is to help with their flood relief.

Before the SL trip, India will travel to England for three ODIs and five T20Is between July 1 and 19, as there is a chance of a three-match T20I series in Dublin against Ireland, as the BCCI and Cricket Ireland have indicated. The BCCI supported Ireland in 2018, 2022, and 2023 with short series.

India to play extra T20I series in Ireland and Sri Lanka

A three-match T20I series against Afghanistan has been scheduled in the UAE in September, which has been a busy month for Indian cricket. There is also a declared series against Bangladesh for six white-ball games, including three ODIs and as many T20I clashes. But for that series to get the green light, it will require clearance from the Government of India.

There has also been talk of a possible short visit to Zimbabwe for the three-match T20 series, as the tour could take place in September, around the same time when the West Indies are scheduled to tour India for three ODIs and five T20Is. The eight-match series could get extended in October.

The Asian Games 2026 is scheduled from September 19 to October 04 as those could be played in the T20Is. India is then expected to reach New Zealand on October 18 for a full tour of five ODIs, five T20Is, and two Tests. They will then return home and are in line to play three ODIs and three T20Is at home against Sri Lanka, followed by the BGT 2027 in January and February 2027.
