BCCI has announced India's ODI schedule till the World Cup 2027 on Wednesday (March 12).
After the victorious Champions Trophy, team India's next ICC assignment in the 50-over format is around two years away, when the ICC World Cup takes place.
Although the Indian team has played a very small number of ODI matches in the last year or so, BCCI has chalked out a greater plan for the next two years.
Rohit Sharma and his troops will be participating in 27 ODIs leading up to the 2027 World Cup. The matches will be divided into nine series of 3 ODIs each against 8 opponents.
India will be playing Australia, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, England, South Africa, West Indies and Sri Lanka in one series, while they play New Zealand twice in the upcoming assignment of ODIs. Out of the nine series, India will be six at home, while the others will be away.
India ODI Schedule till 2027 World Cup
August 2025 - Tour of Bangladesh (Away)
India will kickstart their ODI assignments post the 2025 Champions Trophy with a three-match ODI series against Bangladesh in August 2025. Bangladesh, known for its strong home performances, will be a challenging opponent, especially in spin-friendly conditions.
October-November 2025 - Tour of Australia (Away)
In one of the most anticipated series, India will tour Australia for a three-match ODI series in late 2025. India-Australia ODIs have historically been high-intensity encounters, and this series will provide a crucial test for the Indian squad.
November-December 2025 - South Africa ODI Series (Home)
India will return home to host South Africa for a three-match ODI series. Playing against the Proteas on home soil will allow India to test different combinations and strategies leading up to the World Cup.
January 2026 - New Zealand ODI Series (Home)
The new year will begin with a home ODI series against New Zealand. The Kiwis have been a formidable opponent in recent ICC tournaments, making this series significant in India's World Cup preparations.
June 2026 - Afghanistan ODI Series (Home)
India will host Afghanistan for a three-match ODI series in June 2026. Afghanistan, with its strong spin attack, will provide a different kind of challenge, especially in subcontinent conditions.
July 2026 - Tour of England (Away)
A crucial away series will see India traveling to England for three ODIs. Playing in English conditions will be an excellent test for the Indian batting lineup, given the swing-friendly nature of the pitches.
September-October 2026 - West Indies ODI Series (Home)
India will host West Indies for another three-match ODI series in September-October 2026. The Caribbean side, known for its power hitters, will offer a competitive challenge.
October-November 2026 - New Zealand ODI Series (Home)
India will once again face New Zealand in a home ODI series in late 2026. This will be another opportunity for both teams to refine their squads ahead of the 2027 World Cup.
December 2026 - Sri Lanka ODI Series (Home)
To conclude their ODI schedule before the World Cup year, India will host Sri Lanka in December 2026. The subcontinental rivalry always brings out intense cricket, making it a crucial series to fine-tune strategies.
