Mumbai: In the fourth edition of the World Test Championship (WTC), 2025-27, India is set to face a challenging schedule that includes away series in England and New Zealand.

The BCCI has announced that India will begin the cycle with a five-match Test series against West Indies at home. However, the exact dates of the India-West Indies Test series are not yet confirmed, but it is likely to take place in October this year.

Following the home series against West Indies, India will travel to England for another away assignment.

After the tour of England, India will host South Africa in a two-match Test series at home. November-December 2025 is expected to be the schedule for this assignment.

In 2026, India's focus will shift towards Sri Lanka as they are set to play a two-match series from August onwards. Following that, a two-match away series against New Zealand is also part of India's WTC campaign.

The cycle culminates with India hosting Australia in a five-match Test series, which promises to be an exciting event for cricket fans.
