India's ODI Calendar Ahead of the 2027 World Cup
The Indian team has started its preparations for the 2027 World Cup already. And with the tentative dates for the tournament being announced, India is having a packed schedule in this format. The team is set to play 23 ODIs in the coming six months.
It is good news for the cricket fans as the calendar for the ODI World Cup 2027 has been revealed. The World Cup will commence from 4 October and the finals of the tournament have been confirmed to be played on 21 November. Amidst all this, fans have their eyes on the Indian team, who has some unfinished business when it comes to the World Cup.
In the next six months, the Indian team is likely to play 23 ODIs. It should be noted that one of these games has been played with the series against Afghanistan, which started yesterday. Here's a list of remaining ODIs India will be playing in the next six months.
- 3 ODIs Vs Afghanistan (H)*
- 3 ODIs Vs England (A)
- 3 ODIs Vs Bangladesh (A) (TBC)
- 3 ODIs Vs West Indies (H)
- 5 ODIs Vs New Zealand (A)
- 3 ODIs Vs Sri Lanka (H)
- 3 ODIs Vs Zimbabwe (H)
The series against Afghanistan is currently taking place with two more games left to go. Along with that, the series against Bangladesh is still not confirmed. It was set to take place last year but got postponed due to the regional issues in Bangladesh. And now, India and Bangladesh are having some geopolitical tensions.
Our Take
India is having a packed schedule in the ODIs in the coming six months. This also means cricket fans will be able to witness more of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, as the duo prepares for the 2027 World Cup.
