Here is full 2025 cricket schedule for India. Following a thrilling 2-2 Test series draw against England, India now heads into a packed international calendar for the rest of 2025, featuring high-stakes tournaments and bilateral series across all three formats: Test, one-day and T20. In England, the series ended on a high note for young and resurgent India, thanks to Mohammed Siraj’s match-winning five-wicket haul at the Oval that sealed a dramatic six-run victory in the final Test, equalising the series.
Indian batters KL Rahul, Shubman Gill, and others delivered stellar performances throughout the series, showcasing grit and class under pressure. On the bowling front, pace spearhead Jasprit Bumrah led from the front with fiery spells, while several new entrants to the squad made a lasting impression with their impactful contributions, signaling a promising future for Indian cricket. With momentum on their side, Team India will now face a rigorous test of squad depth and adaptability in the months ahead.
