  • 🏠 West Indies (2 Tests, Home) – October 2025 (Final Score 2-0)
  • 🏠 South Africa (2 Tests, Home) – November-December 2025 (Final Score 0-2)
  • 🇱🇰 Sri Lanka (2 Tests, Away) – 2026
  • 🇳🇿 New Zealand (2 Tests, Away) – 2026
  • 🇦🇺 Australia (5 Tests, Home) – Jan-Feb 2027

Can India Reach the WTC 2027 Final?
