Team India schedule: Full fixture of Indian Cricket team in 2026
by Naman Jain · Inside Sport IndiaCatch all the information you need to know about India's schedule for the year 2026.
What started with a huge success of lifting the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy saw it’s conclusion with a dominant T20 series win over South Africa at home. The 2025 is finally 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. And there’s a jam-packed action in 2026, a year that includes a home T20 World Cup for India. If India goes all the way till the summit clash, the Men in Blue will play ten games at the multi-nation event. It will happen after a home white-ball series against New Zealand.
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.
