01 Jan, 2023 By Editor

With another year of excitement meeting its end and a new year all set to unravel, Team India will be eyeing a successful 365 days. They did start the year well but were soon on their way for a cautious retreat after crashing out of the Asia Cup ahead of the final and then bowing out at the hands of England in the T20 World Cup semi-final. 

India will be starting their new year with a hectic schedule as they have three important visitors lined up starting with Sri Lanka, followed by New Zealand and then eventually the arrival of Australia.

This is just the beginning of what seems like a crackerjack of 365 days about to unfold for the Indian fans. As we start 2023, here is India’s full schedule for the upcoming year. The exact dates are yet to be confirmed but the months have already been announced.
