Team India’s full cricket schedule for 2023 announced

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.
