The India men's cricket team secured their second T20 World Cup title after overcoming South Africa in the final, winning by seven runs at the Kensington Oval, Bridgetown, Barbados on Saturday.

The Men in Blue now have a packed cricket schedule until the end of 2024. India will embark on a brief white-ball series tour to Zimbabwe, commencing on 6th July and concluding on 14th July.

Following the Zimbabwe series, they will journey to Sri Lanka for a white-ball series featuring three ODIs and as many T20Is. The tour is set to commence on 27th July and conclude on 7th August.

In August, the Indian team will enjoy a well-deserved one-month break after a hectic schedule predominantly focused on white-ball cricket. Come September, the Indian cricket calendar will transition to Test cricket.

India is slated to host Bangladesh for a two-match Test series starting on 19th September. These matches will contribute to the ongoing ICC World Test Championship 2023–25 cycle. Subsequently, India will also engage in three T20Is against Bangladesh, with the final match scheduled for 12th October.

Following the conclusion of the Bangladesh fixtures, India will welcome New Zealand for a three-match Test series commencing on 16th October, culminating in the fifth day of the final Test on 5th November.

Next, the Men In Blue will journey to South Africa for a four-match T20I series, commencing on 8th November in Durban. A second-string squad is expected to compete against the Proteas, with the final T20I scheduled for 15th November.

Meanwhile, India will travel to Australia for the highly anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy. For the first time, India and Australia will contest a five-match Test series, starting from 22nd November and concluding on 7th January.
