Team India put their 2023 ODI World Cup heartbreak behind last Sunday when they lifted the ICC Champions Trophy title after defeating New Zealand four wickets in the final in Dubai. Rohit Sharma’s men also made a redemption of sorts after they defeated world champions Australia to reach the summit clash.
While heavyweights Rohit and Virat Kohli have denied any plans of retirement, India’s road to the next World Cup, slated to be held in October-November 2027 in Africa could perhaps witness the onset of some transition and fresh names in the ODI set-up. Unlike the previous four-year cycles, India are likely to have reduced game time to set up their squad for the next 50-over World Cup.
How many ODIs will India play before 2027 World Cup?
According to the ICC’s Future Tours Program (FTP), India are slated to play 27 ODIs before the World Cup will be played in South Africa, Namibia and Zimbabwe. However, changes could be incorporated into the FTP over the next two years.
