India Home Schedule ahead of 2027 ODI World Cup

West Indies (September 2026 ): In the 2026-27 cricket season, the West Indies series will be the first one. The series starts with a 3-match ODI affair in Trivandrum, Guwahati, and New Chandigarh, followed by a 5-match T20I series in Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. This marks the West Indies' return to India since their 2022 white-ball tour, testing both sides' preparations for global events like the 2027 Champions Trophy.

Sri Lanka (December 2026): A white-ball series with 3 ODIs in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad, plus 3 T20Is in Rajkot, Cuttack, and Pune. It builds on recent India-Sri Lanka encounters, including their 2024 white-ball tours.

Zimbabwe (January 2027): Limited to a 3-match ODI series in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. Zimbabwe's visits remain infrequent, last seen in a 2024 T20I series, offering India squad rotation opportunities post major tournaments.

Australia (Border-Gavaskar Trophy, from January 21, 2027): A blockbuster 5-match Test series opener in Nagpur, then Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi, and Ahmedabad. This high-stakes rivalry, with India holding a 2-1 lead in the last two home series (2018-19, 2023), could influence World Test Championship standings.
