Team India’s Complete 2026 Cricket Calendar: All Series, Tournaments & Tours

The year 2025 for Team India began on a high note with a spectacular ICC Men’s Champions Trophy victory and concluded with a commanding T20 series win over South Africa at home. While the year had its moments of triumph, it also brought challenges.

The resurgence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma to their peak form was a major highlight, but the Test team struggled following the retirements of key players. Fans of Rohit and Virat will be excited, as India is scheduled to play around 18 ODIs in 2026, the only format where the duo continues to feature prominently. 

Looking ahead, 2026 promises an action-packed calendar for Indian cricket.
