The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a blockbuster home schedule for the Indian men's team from September 2024 to February 2025 including five Tests, eight T20Is and three ODIs in the run-up to the Champions Trophy 2025, scheduled to be held in February-March in Pakistan. India will be playing a couple of Test matches against Bangladesh in September before a couple of Tests against New Zealand in October with the third one spilling over to November.
In October, India and Bangladesh will also be involved in a three-match T20I series. The traditional venues have returned to host the Test matches with Chennai and Kanpur earmarked for Bangladesh games while Bengaluru, Pune and Mumbai will host the three Tests against New Zealand respectively.
