Team India schedule: Full fixture of Indian Cricket team in 2026

What started with a huge success of lifting the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy saw its conclusion with a dominant T20 series win over South Africa at home. The year 2025 ended and it had its highs and lows. The return of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma back to their best was certainly a high but the downfall of the Test team post their retirements was a flop.

Now, the focus is on what’s ahead. This year, we have already seen an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 take place, which was jointly hosted by India and Sri Lanka. The Men in Blue went on to lift the crown, and became only the first team to defend the T20 World Cup. Right after that, the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 followed that saw the RCB as champions once more. However, post IPL 2026, its a jam-packed schedule for India.

There’s delight for Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli fans as well since 2026 will see India play around 18 one-day internationals, the only format that the duo participates in. There’s also an Asian Games in September, where India is likely to field an extremely young side. Meanwhile, the year ends on a tough and challenging away tour to New Zealand.
