The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday (August 13) updated the domestic schedule for the 2024-25 season. The Indian cricket team will begin by playing Test and T20 matches against Bangladesh from September 19.
After the white-ball series against Bangladesh (home series), India will face New Zealand (home series), South Africa (overseas tour) and Australia (overseas tour) from October 24 to January 7. After this, India will take part in a five-match T20 series and a three-match ODI series against England (home series). The BCCI has revised the schedule of the home matches.
Venue of first T20I between India vs Bangladesh changed
The venue of the first T20I between India and Bangladesh has been changed. Originally scheduled to be held in Dharamsala on October 6, 2024, this T20 match will now take place in Gwalior due to renovation of the dressing rooms by the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association (HPCA).
The first T20 match of India vs Bangladesh will be held at the newly built Shrimant Madhavrao Scindia Cricket Stadium, which will be its first international match since 2010. This is the same ground where Sachin Tendulkar scored his historic double century in ODIs during the India-South Africa ODI match in 2010.
Grounds changed for India vs England
The BCCI has announced a swap of grounds for the first and second T20Is against England. Kolkata’s Eden Gardens will now host the first T20I, which was originally scheduled to take place in Chennai. Chennai will instead host the second T20I, which was earlier planned to take place in Kolkata. Despite the change in venues, the dates of the matches will remain the same, with the first T20I on January 22 and the second T20I on January 25.
