On April 2, 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed the Indian men’s team’s 2025 home season schedule. India will host two countries – the West Indies and South Africa – between October and December.
The 2025 home season will see India play four Tests, three ODIs, and five T20Is. All four Tests are part of the 2025-27 World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.
The season will kick off in Ahmedabad on October 2 and conclude at the same venue on December 19. (Check out India’s schedule for the full year here.)
