India’s next home Test series is only in January–February 2027, when it hosts Australia in a five-match series, which will also mark its final Test engagement of the current WTC cycle.
India’s WTC 2025–27 campaign began with a five-match Test series in England in June, which also marked the start of Shubman Gill’s tenure as Test captain. The series ended in a 2–2 draw.
