As India prepares for a year of immense change in international cricket, this exclusive schedule states that India have a full calendar of 2025 to look forward to. The packed schedule features exciting Test series, white-ball matches in different conditions, and historical tours. Here is a look at Team India's schedule for this upcoming year, from the green tops of England, the spin-friendly tracks of Bangladesh, and the pace-friendly grounds of Australia.
India opens its India tour with a hard-fought five-Test series against England (June 20–August 4), a part of the ICC World Test Championship. On June 13–16, India's trip commences with a four-day warm-up match against India A (not necessarily to be considered Test match experience) in Beckenham, London, to adjust to English conditions. The Test matches will be at Leeds (1st Test, June 20–24), Edgbaston (2nd Test, July 2–6), Lord's (3rd Test, July 10–14), Old Trafford (4th Test, July 23–27), and The Oval (5th Test, July 31–August 4). This will be India's next Test series after beating England in England almost convincing in 2021 and the series will undoubtedly be key to India's WTC title defence with India being factored into winning records across England.

- Three ODIs in Perth (October 19), Adelaide (October 23), and Sydney (October 25).
- Five T20Is in Canberra (October 29), Melbourne (October 31), Hobart (November 2), Gold Coast (November 6), and Brisbane (November 8).
