This series will run until June 20 and will be Team India’s first international series after the IPL.
Matches against England and West Indies
After Afghanistan, Team India will tour England, where three ODI matches will be played. Additionally, Team India will play three ODI matches at home against West Indies.
Team India’s ODI Schedule: An Opportunity for Excitement Before the World Cup
Team India will play several important ODI series before next year’s ODI World Cup. The team will tour New Zealand for a long five-match series against them. Additionally, there will be three ODI matches each against Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe in India.
Occasionally, new matches might be added in between, but even if only these scheduled matches are played, Team India will still get a chance to prepare for the World Cup by playing enough matches.
