World Test Championship (WTC) 2023-25: Team India’s Home And Away Schedule : Team India finished second in the World Test Championship (WTC) 2021-23 cycle, but fell short in the title match. India was hoping to win an International Cricket Council (ICC) trophy for the first time since 2013.
However, their goal to capture an ICC trophy was dashed as the Rohit Sharma-led side was upset by Australia in the WTC final on June 11 at The Oval in London, their second straight loss in the summit battle.
So, with the setback behind us, let us hope for a new beginning and more victories as the new WTC Cycle begins. WTC 2023-25 will begin on June 16, as Australia takes the pitch against England in the famous 5-test match Ashes series.
The ICC has released a full calendar of Test-playing nations that will compete in the next WTC cycle, which will take place between 2023 and 2025. Australia’s defense begins on Friday in Birmingham, with the following matches taking place at Lord’s, Leeds, Manchester, and The Oval. While India will begin with away matches in the West Indies in July 2023.
The nine-team WTC system stays the same, with each club playing three home and three away series over two years, concluding in a one-off Test final. The previous edition’s points percentage method will be utilized to decide the standings, with teams receiving 12 points for a victory, six points for a tie, and four points for a draw.
India’s Schedule For WTC 2023-25
Team India will have to put another ICC heartache behind them as their next assignment would mark the start of their 2023-25 WTC cycle. Rohit Sharma and the company will begin their second WTC cycle with two Tests in the West Indies, which will take place from July 12 to July 16 in Dominica and from July 20 to July 24 in T&T
India would thereafter play two Tests in South Africa from December 2023 to January 2024. Team India will also host England for five Tests in January and February of 2024.
Bangladesh will visit India in September and October of 2024 for two Test matches. Bangladesh will be followed by New Zealand in October and November 2024, when they will play three Tests in India.
