Team India will next play UAE on September 10 in the Asia Cup after a 5-week break following the historic England series draw.
The full schedule of the rest of 2025 for India comes after they drew the series with England 2-2 with a fragile landmark. The team will earn itself a deserved five-week break before its next engagement with the UAE on 10 September at the Asia Cup T20 event.
His schedule from September through January 2026 portrays a continuous run of cricket in India. The team is on a tough schedule, which started with a tour of England and is to be followed by tours of Australia and home series against various teams. Injuries that were endured in the hellish England trip highlight the need of the August break, one in which players and staff members can relax.
The next immediate competition for India is the Asia Cup in September. The country has been sketched in the same line with the UAE, Pakistan, and Oman. The two highest ranked in each group qualify for the Super Four. With their current status, people expect India to reach the tournament final.
The present international program schedule was drawn up some months back with a view to accommodating the post-England-series boom. As much as the BCCI is keen to please the fans through providing a plethora of matches, the workload created in the process places increased stress on the fitness of the players and rotation.
There is all the news of rumors that people are anticipating India’s next move after 2 weeks of exciting matches with England. There are many social media questions about the future commitment of the team. However, a five-week gap before the start of the Asia Cup can seem long to avid fans.
India’s Asia Cup Campaign
The Indian cricket team will get into action in the Asia Cup, which they will open against the United Arab Emirates on 10 September. Due to the power inequality between the two parties, the battle will be won by India. As such, Men in Blue will pursue a decisive triumph in an attempt to boost morale.
The marquee match of the tournament will be between India and Pakistan on 14 September. This game will definitely enjoy international interest, as the two countries have been involved in a fierce competition. Both sides have their strong T20 squads, and victory might define whether they win or lose the group stage.
India will face Oman in the last group match on 19 September. Even though Oman has been ameliorating steadily the past few years, India is set to dominate in the whole process. In case India finishes first within the group, it will become A1 in the Super Four stage.
The Super Four stage will take place between 20 and 26 September and involve the four best teams. In case of India qualifying, there will be three more matches to be played with the two teams coming to the crucial game. It is a general perception that the final will be fought over by India and Pakistan.
Bangladesh Tour Cancelled
The series between India and Bangladesh was initially scheduled to take place in August 2023, being made up of three One-Day Internationals and three Twenty20 Internationals, but has now been called off. The Board of Control of Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board (BCB) together tried to justify their claims of postponing the matches under the undertone of being more convenient, logistically, but it is understood that the source of the trouble is the political unrest between the two countries.
The official statement added that India will now go to Bangladesh in September 2026, with the new dates to be announced later. Such delay provides the Indian team with more rest following the physically taxing series against England.
There is even a rumor that India might instead tour Sri Lanka at some stage in early August, something quite welcome to local media but hardly feasible due to the short timeline involved in terms of scheduling and logistics.
