Who will India face next after England? India’s future tour programs, cricket schedule till 2027
India’s Future Tour Programs (FTP) for till 2027: Shubman Gill’s debut series as a Test captain finished on high after India beat England six runs in the Oval Test of the 2025 Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, levelling the five-match Test series 2-2. It was a valiant effort from pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna on Days 4 and 5, which helped India square the series.
Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal struck a fine century in the second innings and put on a healthy partnership with nightwatchman Akash Deep to overhaul England’s first innings lead and set a strong base for a high-scoring total. Ravindra Jadeja scored a fifth before Washington Sundar’s blitzkrieg took India to 396 as they set England a stiff target of 374.
In an extraordinary show of ‘Bazball’ cricket, England came agonisingly close to the target courtesy of a counterattacking century Harry Brook and an equally impressive ton Joe Root as England were 301/3 at some stage with India down and out of the contest. If not for a breakthrough from Akash Deep in Brook’s scalp and a quick wrap of the tail from Siraj and Krishna, India would have been long out of the contest.

However, the match swung back in India’s favour thanks to the team’s collective grit and resilience, as they secured a share of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with England.
This also marked the end of a gruelling 25-day Test series spanning two months, with players now earning a well-deserved break. India’s next assignment is a limited-overs tour of Bangladesh, featuring three ODIs and three T20Is from August 17–31.
Following the Bangladesh series, India will compete in the T20 Asia Cup 2025 in Dubai. Their Test calendar for the remainder of the year is light, with just three matches scheduled.
Under Shubman Gill, India will return to red-ball cricket in October for a two-Test series against the West Indies at home. They’ll wrap up 2025 with another two-Test series, this time against South Africa.Story continues below this ad
