After two months of competitive cricket in the TATA IPL 2023, Team India will start their international schedule. India didn’t have a great performance in 2022, which started with a test series loss against South Africa. Virat Kohli stepped down from the test captaincy.
India couldn’t qualify for the final of the Asia Cup while suffering a humiliating defeat at the hands of England in the semi-final of the 2022 T20 World Cup. A number of new faces got the opportunity during the year, while Hardik Pandya was handed over the captaincy in a shorter format.
The biggest positive in 2022 was India’s qualification for the final of the World Test Championship when they beat Australia 3-1 at home. After the IPL 2023, India will start their new international schedule, which will kick off with the WTC final against Australia in England. So let’s check out India’s upcoming international schedule.
