India's 2026 Cricket Schedule Includes Sri Lanka Tests and Potential Bangladesh Tour
India's cricket team, led by Shubman Gill, will continue its 2026 schedule with a two-match Test series against Sri Lanka as part of the World Test Championship. Following a 3-0 T20I series win over Zimbabwe, India plans to tour Bangladesh for a white-ball series, pending improved political relations. Additional fixtures include a T20I series against Afghanistan, hosting West Indies for ODIs and T20Is, and a multi-format tour of New Zealand. The schedule reflects ongoing efforts to balance international commitments amid geopolitical considerations.
