The India WTC Schedule 2025-27 is out, and the cycle of the World Test Championship for India will start from June 20, 2025, against England in an away series, which promises to be a great one under the young captain, Shubman Gill.
As South Africa won their first ever ICC Major trophy after 27 years of drought against the Australian side by five wickets at Lords on June 14, 2025 to show the world that test cricket is not just for the big three team and it was a tight slapp to some of the legendary players who thought South Africa not had any chance to win.
The schedule, which includes three home and three away series, will see India face some of the top Test-playing nations in a bid to secure a spot in the final.
The journey for Team India will be a balanced mix of challenging overseas tours and crucial home stands. In total, the 2025-27 WTC cycle will feature 71 Test matches played across 27 series.
