India, South Africa chase T20 glory in Barbados
There are high chances of rain on Saturday but the ICC has kept a reserve day for the T20 WC final
India’s home season will kick off in September, hosting Bangladesh for two World Test Championships (WTC) Tests followed by three T20Is. The first Test will be held in Chennai, starting September 19 while Kanpur will be hosting the second Test from September 27.
This will be Bangladesh’s only third Test tour to India. They played a one-off Test in 2017 and a two-match series in 2019.
Meanwhile, the three T20Is against the eastern neighbours will be played in Dharamshala, Delhi and Hyderabad, the BCCI announced on Thursday while unveiling the Indian team’s 2024-25 home international season during which they will play five Tests, three ODIs and eight T20Is.

In October, New Zealand will visit India for a red-ball series, contesting in three WTC Tests with matches in Bengaluru, Pune and Mumbai. Following the series against the BlackCaps that will end in the first week of November, India will tour Down Under for a gruelling five-match Test series against Australia.
On return, India will resume their home campaign with a white-ball series against England after the new year 2025 begins. The two sides will clash in five T20Is and three ODIs starting January 22. England featured in a five-Test series in India last year, which the hosts won 4-1.
Rohit Sharma and Co are currently competing at the T20 World Cup in the Americas, post which India are scheduled to tour Zimbabwe and Sri Lanka before starting their home international series.
