India recently lost a test match against Australia, losing the WTC championship final in the process. The 2011 World Cup champions were in the same place during the inaugural tournament, when they lost to New Zealand.
India will now look to start strongly with the West Indies tour that began on July 12. The Indian team looks strong with a mix of young and experienced players.
After a month-long break, the Indian cricket team will return to action tomorrow, July 12, 2023, with the first Test match of their all-format tour of the West Indies. This Test Match will also mark the start of India’s 2023-2025 WTC cycle.
The first test will be played in Dominica from July 12 to 16, followed by the second test in Trinidad from July 20 to 24. India will look to start their WTC cycle on a strong note as they aim to qualify for the championship finals.
The West Indies are a formidable opponent in Test cricket, but India will be confident in their chances of winning the series. The Indian team has a strong batting line-up, led by Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, and a bowling attack that is capable of taking 20 wickets on any given day.
The West Indies tour will be a challenge for India but it is also an opportunity for the team to gain momentum ahead of their next Test series against Australia. India will be hoping to start their WTC cycle strong and will look to put their recent disappointment in the WTC finals behind them.
Full list
The Indian cricket team has a busy schedule in the next two years, with several high-profile bilateral series against top teams.
After their recent defeat in the WTC final, the Rohit Sharma-led team will look to bounce back and regain their status as the best Test team in the world. They will have the opportunity to do so when they tour South Africa in late 2023 and Australia in late 2024.
Between those two tours, India will also host England for a five-Test series, Bangladesh for two Tests and New Zealand for three Tests. This series will give India a chance to test their mettle against some of the best teams in the world.
Here is the complete list of matches that India will play to qualify for the 2023-2025 WTC finals:
