Table of Contents
Team India is all set to begin its busy home schedule for the 2021-22 season with a series against Kane Williamson-led New Zealand. Following them will be West Indies, Sri Lanka, and South Africa for fairly medium-length tours.
Virat Kohli and co. don’t have any breathing starting from the upcoming IPL 2021. Once the league ends, the T20 World Cup begins which will also be Kohli’s last event as a T20I captain of the squad. Without any respite, the team will begin their short series against the Kiwis.
The West Indies squad then arrives for a white-ball series which will span two weeks. The depleted Lankan squad will visit the shores soon after for two Tests and three T20Is. Finally, the Proteas make their way to the sub-continent to play a 5-match T20I series ahead of the 2022 T20 World Cup.
The Men in Blue have been touted as one of the favourites to win the upcoming ICC event. Their campaign kicks off with an all-important match against Pakistan on October 24. They have been grouped alongside Pakistan, New Zealand, Afghanistan, and two more qualifiers in Group 1.
The squad for the same has a few surprises in it. Ravichandran Ashwin makes a comeback after nearly four years since his last limited-overs game. Shikhar Dhawan and Yuzvendra Chahal missed out while Rahul Chahar and Varun Chakravarthy made it to the 15-member squad.
