WTC 2023-25 Schedule: India's Full Schedule, Match List | World Test Championship: The horrors of the past have once again hit team India as they faced an embarrassing defeat against Australia in the ICC WTC 2023 Final at the Kennington Oval in London, a week ago. Rohit Sharma-led India sank by 209 runs against the Aussies in the second edition of the ICC World Test Championship.



While it can be said that Australia had got the upper hand on the first day itself, India had a slight opportunity to make a comeback in the second innings of the ICC WTC Final. However, the Indian batters disappointed big time with their unnecessary poking at the deliveries outside the off stump.



India had qualified for the final of the inaugural edition of the WTC Final as well, back in 2021, however, it was New Zealand, who gave a heartbreak to the Indian side led by then-skipper Virat Kohli. 



With now two consecutive defeats in the ICC WTC Final, the time has come for Team India to do a thorough review of the losses and the strategies to improve them as we head to a brand new WTC cycle.



The new cycle of the World Test Championship is set to begin with Australia taking on England in the five-match Ashes 2023. However, for team India, the WTC 2023-25 cycle is scheduled to kickstart with a two-game test series against West Indies in July.

WTC 2023-25 Schedule: India's Full Schedule, Match List | World Test Championship

wtc-2023-25-schedule-indias-full-schedule-match-list-world-test-championship

WTC 2023-25: Biggest challenge for Rahul Dravid after WTC 2023 Final defeat: The ever-decorated Rahul Dravid was the guy, who is admired by everyone for his great temperament, vision and cool composure. Being a guy with such defining qualities, Dravid was handed over the reins of the Indian national cricket team following the tenure of Ravi Shastri, back in November 2021.



His work at the National Cricket Academy (NCA), before joining the Indian team as a head coach, was praiseworthy as he took certain steps to make NCA a proper machinery to groom young Indian players and make them match-ready. 



With such high credentials, Dravid was expected to change the fortunes of the Indian side, which has a tendency to slip at the crucial time. However, since his appointment, he has not been able to break the shackles of being an underperformer in the ICC knockout events.



Under Rahul Dravid, India reached the semi-final of the T20 World Cup 2022 where they were decimated by England. India again did well in the second edition of the ICC World Test Championship (WTC) 2023 and entered the final with Australia. However, once again Australia edged past India in the ultimate test.



The next big assignment for Rahul Dravid and management, this year, would be the upcoming ICC Cricket World Cup 2023. India will host the coveted tournament and automatically India will be anticipated to cease its trophyless run.



Graeme Smith, former South African captain, reflected on Rahul Dravid's short stint as India's head coach and also identified the biggest challenge ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023.



"There?s a huge quality of players. India can put two or three teams together," said Graeme Smith. "The biggest challenge in India for a leader is balancing those squads, balancing your tour schedules, the different formats, and those are some of the biggest decisions that are coming ahead of Rahul and his selection team. What do those squads look like, how do they move those teams forward."



Smith hailed Dravid for his role in the team during such a short tenure and said he must be given a fair opportunity to rebuild the Indian squads for different formats.



"He?s [Rahul Dravid] a quality man and a quality performer. He?s shown it right through as a coach. So, you?ve got to give him a fair opportunity now to kind of rebuild India."



Team India's new challenge begins with the Caribbean tour, which will commence on July 12. With a two-match test series against West Indies, India will also begin its new cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC).



However, India's prime focus would be on the ODIs due to the upcoming ODI World Cup 2023. The senior players are likely to be part of the ODI squads in every tour, but their presence in the remaining two formats is uncertain.

In the final match of The Ashes 2023, Australian captain Pat Cummins won the toss and invited England to bat first. Batting first, the England team could score only 283 runs, while the Australian team scored 295 runs in the first innings and took a lead of 12 runs. In the second innings, England made a comeback scoring 395 runs. Chasing the target, the Australian team was all out for 334 runs in the second innings. 



Chris Woakes bowled brilliantly for England in the second innings. He took four important wickets for 50 runs in a total of 19 overs. Woakes dismissed both Australian opener David Warner and Usman Khawaja. There was a 140-run partnership between both the batsmen. Apart from this, he took the wicket of Steve Smith who was batting on 54 runs. The last wicket of the same Australian innings was taken by Stuart Broad who is playing his last match. Broad bowled a total of 20.4 overs in which he took two wickets. As the end of Ashes 2023, 37 year old England fast bowler Stuart Broad also ends his cricket career. The entire cricket world is shocked and saddened by his sudden retirement decision.

The Ashes 2023 was held in England. The Australian team was leading 2-0 in the series after winning the first two Test matches. It seemed to all cricket experts and fans that this year the Kangaroo team would beat England 5?0, but then the England team returned and won the third Test match by three wickets. While the fourth Test match played at Manchester's Old Trafford Stadium was a draw due to rain. England had almost won this match too.

Fierce rivals New Zealand and Australia are all set to lock horns against each other in the first test of the two-match test series, starting this Thursday. The first test will be played at Wellington?s Basin Reserve Stadium, and the match will commence at 3:30 am IST. The two-match test series between the Trans-Tasman rivals is part of the World Test Championship 2023?25 cycle.



Following the conclusion of the first test match, the two teams will then travel to Christchurch to play in the second and final test matches, which will be played on March 8 at the Hagley Oval Stadium.

The hosts would be looking to bounce back with a dominating performance in the test series after getting whitewashed 3-0 in the recently concluded three-match T20 International series against Australia. The Kiwis are coming off a 2-0 test series win against South Africa, while the Australians drew the two-match test series against the Windies 1-1.



New Zealand, currently sitting comfortably at the top of the WTC 2023?25 overall standings, has secured victories in three games and lost one match against Bangladesh in the current WTC cycle. The Australians, on the other hand, are currently in the third position in the WTC standings, with six wins, three defeats, and one drawn match next to their name.



Ahead of the two-match test series against Australia, the hosts have announced their squad of 14 players, led by Tim Southee. Seamer Scott Kuggeleijn has earned a recall to the test squad of the Black Caps in order to replace the injured Kyle Jamieson, who was ruled out of the test series due to a stress fracture.



Young Kiwi pacer Will O'Rourke has retained his position in the test squad following an impressive test debut outing against the Proteas, as he picked up nine scalps against them.



On the other hand, defending WTC Champions Australia would be looking to continue their dominance against the Black Caps, as they have not lost a test series in New Zealand since 1994. The visitors have managed to win nine test matches and draw one test in the last 10 games that have taken place between the two teams.



Aussie all-rounder Michael Neser has been called back to the test squad of the Kangaroos ahead of the two-match test series against the Black Caps. After the retirement of David Warner from the longest format of the game, Steven Smith is likely to continue opening the innings for the visitors.?



<h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="nz-vs-aus-head-to-head-record-in-test-cricket">NZ vs AUS, Head-to-Head Record in Test Cricket</h4>



The Aussies have dominated New Zealand in the longest format of the game, as they have won 34 games out of 60 matches, whereas the Black Caps have tasted success in just eight encounters out of 60. 18 matches between the two sides have ended in a draw.

NZ vs AUS: Where to watch the first test between New Zealand and Australia in India

Most Runs in WTC 2023-25 Cycle: Young Indian batter Yashasvi Jaiswal has had a fantastic outing so far in the ongoing India vs England 5-match test series. The southpaw has stepped up on multiple occasions in the series with his scintillating batting form and is now on the verge of reaching a massive milestone during the India vs England 5th test in Dharmshala.



Yashasvi Jaiswal, who has over 650 runs in the four games of the test series against England, is just 29 runs away from aggregating 1,000 test runs in the ongoing cycle of the World Test Championship (WTC). 



Should the opener manage to score 29 runs or more in the upcoming test match in Dharmshala, he will become the first batter to score 1,000 runs in the current 2023-25 WTC cycle.



22-year-old Yashasvi Jaiswal has 971 runs to his name in 8 matches of the ongoing WTC cycle at an impressive average of 69.35. The batter has slammed two double-centuries along with a century (171 runs) in his short career so far.



It's noteworthy that both the double-tons Jaiswal has scored have come against England. His maiden double-century (209 runs) came during the 2nd India vs England test which was held in Vishakhapatnam, while the second big score (214* runs) he racked up in Rajkot.



Besides Yashasvi Jaiswal, Indian captain Rohit Sharma is the only other Indian batter to feature in the list of players with the most runs in the WTC 2023-25 cycle. Rohit has amassed 597 runs in 8 test matches at an average of 42.64 and is placed in the ninth position.



India is set to lock horns against England in the fifth test which is scheduled to begin on March 07 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association Stadium (HPCA) in Dharmshala. 



The five-match test series is already in the hands of India with an unassailable lead of 3-1 in the series. While India will eye finishing the exhilarating red-ball series on a high, England would love to exploit the Indian conditions in Dharmshala and produce a superb comeback to cap off the India tour.



Below is the list of players with the most runs in the WTC 2023-25 cycle:

India has been one of the best sides in Test cricket, as they have played both the World Test Championship finals after qualifying for both of them being placed as the best side leading the WTC points table. This time around as well, India is leading the WTC points table for 2023-2025 and has three series left in the longest format of the game before they can find themselves a spot in the third consecutive WTC final. With India being the only constant in both finals, they have first lost to New Zealand and next to the Aussies, so there are some flaws in the Indian side, as the arguably best Test side in the world has faced repetitive setbacks in consecutive ICC World Test Championships.

 India could not secure the title under one of India?s greatest players in the format, Rahul Dravid; however, Gambhir will lead India for the first time as a coach if India makes it to the finals. Alongside Gambhir?s suggestion, the BCCI has given their players a firm resolute that their participation in domestic tests is a must to be included for the final international level. The BCCI has announced that every player who plays for India in the highest format of the game will have to play in either every or at least some of the matches in the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duleep_Trophy">Duleep Trophy</a>. This has been a recent problem: national team players often refrain from participating in first-class or List A cricket at the domestic level. Players like Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant, and others do not prefer to play cricket for their state teams. India faced a major setback with their young opening batsman, Gill, as he struggled in the longest format and was a great disappointment for India in both the WTC finals.

 This might also be Rohit Sharma?s showdown in the longest format of the game, and so for the veteran Kohli as well. With the two legends parting ways with the longest format, this might be their last chance to secure a good win. However, the BCCI has relieved the three veterans, Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, and Jasprit Bumrah. They have been given the liberty to choose whether they want to participate in the domestic games, unlike others who have to play domestic games to surely feature for India at the highest level. Indian young players who are likely to make it to the WTC finals in 2025, Jaiswal and Pant, will be India?s preferred choices for the same. Led by skipper Sharma, as said by Jay Shah, and having the likes of Virat Kohli, India might give chances to a few new talents like Shreyas Iyer or recall players Pandya and KL Rahul to replace greats like Pujara and Rahane who are set to retire from the format.

IND vs ENG: Former Indian cricketer Ravichandran Ashwin has announced his playing XI for the first T20I against England. The match between the two teams is all set to take place on Wednesday (22nd January) at the iconic Eden Gardens in Kolkata.
India and England will be locking horns with each other in the five-match T20I series. Both teams have a mixed combination of seniors and youngsters in the team, and with the way they have played of late, it's fair to say that it will be an exciting series to watch. 
Coming to the first T20I, Ravichandran Ashwin backed Sanju Samson and Abhishek Sharma to open the innings for the team. The duo has been doing a decent job together as an opener and would be hoping to carry on the same form in the upcoming first match. 
Sanju Samson was at his exceptional best in the T20Is last year as he slammed three tons. While on the other hand, Abhishek Sharma hasn't been able to maintain consistency. Hence the series will be extremely important for him with the bat. 
At No.3, Ravichandran Ashwin picked Tilak Varma. The left-hander oozed his class with the bat in the last series against South Africa. He batted at No.3 and slammed two back-to-back centuries. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav, as per Ashwin, will bat at No.4.
Hardik Pandya, Nitish Kumar Reddy and Axar Patel are the three all-rounders picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG T20I. They are expected to play a major role with the bat and ball. 
Rinku Singh also has been picked by Ravichandran Ashwin in his Indian XI for the first IND vs ENG team. He will be taking the role of finisher while there was no place for Ravi Bishnoi, who hard has put a foot wrong in his T20I career. Varun Chakravarthy will be there as per Ashwin. 
Mohammed Shami and Arshdeep Singh are the two fast bowlers picked by Ravichandran Ashwin for the first IND vs ENG XI. Shami will be making his comeback to the team after a year, while Arshdeep will be keen to make an impact.

Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali talked about the delay in the squad of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 for the Pakistan team. He said that it might look like they are scared of announcing the team, but it seems that they don't know what to do. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is around the corner and all the teams have named their squad for the tournament except the hosts Pakistan. The Men in Green are yet to announce the team even though the deadline of 12th January has already been surpassed by a long margin. 
India, Australia, England, South Africa, New Zealand, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan have all revealed their squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This has made many speculate about why Pakistan isn't announcing their squad for the tournament, which is less than one month away. 
There have been several reports that Pakistan will be announcing their squad for the tournament soon. They are awaiting the fitness of a few players, and hence, they will soon be naming the team. Some reports also have revealed the players who will be playing, but an official announcement is yet to come. 
<h2>Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai - Basit Ali </h2>
Amid all this, former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali commented on the same, saying that no one knows what is happening. He speculated that they might be waiting for the fitness report on Saim Ayub. Speaking in a video posted on his YouTube channel, he explained: 
"Pakistan kya darr gaya jo abhi tak team announce nahi ki? Nahi dara nahi hai. Samajh nahi aa rahi hai -- karein to kya karein? (Is Pakistan scared to announce their squad? No, it isn't, just unsure what to do and what not). The biggest issue is whether Saim Ayub can return fit or not. It's still not clear." 
It remains to be seen when will Pakistan announce the squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The tournament is all set to take place from 19th February, with the final all set to be played on 9th March.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has issued a warning to the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) over the jersey controversy ahead of the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. This comes after the Indian governing body refused to write 'Pakistan' on their kits for the tournament. 
The ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which is all set to be hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is scheduled to begin on 19th February. The preparations for the tournament are on, and the ICC and the PCB are taking every step possible to make sure that everything is right on track. 
However, a controversy recently erupted after BCCI refused to write Pakistan on their jersey for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Notably, every participating nation, as per the ICC policy, has to write the name of the host nation below the logo of the tournament on their jersey. 
After BCCI refused to sport it, Pakistan Cricket Board officials made a strong statement, saying that BCCI is trying to use politics in every matter. He, however, mentioned that they are hopeful that ICC will support them and India will be asked to write the name of the jersey on their kits for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. 
<h2>It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys - ICC official </h2>
Following this, BCCI also reacted, and the insider from the governing body said that since they are playing in Dubai, it isn't mandatory for them to wear the 'Pakistan written jersey'. The BCCI also stressed that they didn't write Pakistan's name on the podium of the Trophy tours as well. 
Amid all this, ICC has come up with a strong response for the BCCI. An ICC official mentioned that it is the responsibility of the host nation to add the tournament logo to their jersey. He stated: 
"It is the responsibility of every team to add the tournament logo to their jerseys. All teams are obligated to comply with this rule," an ICC official said as per A-Sports, as quoted by NDTV. 
Not only this, it is learned that the ICC also warned BCCI that they would be taking strict action if they didn't wear the Pakistan-written jersey during the tournament.

India fast bowler Arshdeep Singh is all set to achieve the most massive feat in the history of T20I cricket in the upcoming T20I series against England. The series between the teams will begin on 22nd January at the Eden Gardens in Kolkata. 
Arshdeep Singh is just 5 wickets away from becoming the first Indian bowler to pick 100 wickets in the T20Is. With India set to play a five-match T20I series against England, it is expected that the pacer will be achieving the feat in the upcoming series. 
This comes as a remarkable feat because Arshdeep Singh made his debut during 2022, and to reach to 100 wickets within the span of around 2 years is staggering. The left-arm pacer has been nothing short of exceptional in the T20 format and is one of the most consistent performers with the ball for the team. 
Arshdeep Singh has been sensational with the new ball as well as in death. In the last few years, he has proved to be the biggest match-winner for India in T20Is. The pacer has won many games for the team on his own and will be keen to carry on the same form in the upcoming series. 
<h2>Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024</h2>
Arshdeep Singh was one of the major reasons behind India winning the T20 World Cup 2024.  He was the joint-highest wicket-taker in the series with 17 wickets to his name as he oozed his class with both new ball and old ball, helping India to end their title drought.
Arshdeep Singh will be extremely important for India in the upcoming T20I series against England. The pacer will be key for the team alongside Mohammed Shami, who will be making his comeback to the team after a long injury break. The duo will be leading the attack for the team. 
With the kind of performances that he has displayed, Arshdeep Singh is likely to play all five games in the series. It won't be a surprise if he gets to 100 wickets in the first two games of the series against England.

The India and Pakistan rivalry has been a great contest on the cricket field, as well as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, marked by intense competition between the neighbouring nations and passionate fan engagement. It has often been seen that ever since the two teams have stopped playing bilaterals against eachother, these two are featured in every ICC tournament, which draw millions of spectators.  
The rivalry only intensifies, every time the two nations play against eachother, be it the Cricket World Cup or the ICC Champions Trophy. Such has been India’s domination in the ICC events, that they claimed successive wins in both the One-Day as well as the T20 World Cup. However, the Champions Trophy results have been contrasting with Pakistan’s infamous victory in the CT 2017 final against India, as well as their memorable 10-wickets win against India in the T20 World Cup of 2021.    
Clearly, the India vs Pakistan games are celebration of cricket to its peak, where every ball, every run, and every wicket carries the weightage of national pride.
<h2 dir="ltr">Here’s the strongest combined playing XI from the current squads of India and Pakistan for ICC Champions Trophy 2025:</h2>
<h3 dir="ltr">1: Rohit Sharma (C)</h3>

<h3 dir="ltr">4: Shreyas Iyer</h3>
Indian middle-order batter <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shreyas_Iyer">Shreyas Iyer </a>has been a consistent player for the men in blue in the ODI format for a long time. Iyer has been a crucial asset to the India middle-order while delivering match-winning performances in the CWC 2023 as well as the Asia Cup. This is the reason he finds himself in place of Indian star wicket-keeper batter Rishabh Pant.  
As of now, Shreyas Iyer has put on a total of 2,421 runs with an average of 47.47, including 5 centuries and 18 fifties.
<h3 dir="ltr">5: Mohammad Rizwan</h3>

He on several occasions has won matches for India single-handedly, be it with the bat or with the ball. 
As of now, Hardik Pandya has scored 1769 runs and has taken 84 wickets for the Indian side in the 50-over format.
<h3 dir="ltr">7: Shadab Khan</h3>

As of now, Shadab Khan has 855 runs and 85 wickets for the Pakistan side to his name.
<h3 dir="ltr">8: Kuldeep Yadav</h3>
<img class="img-additional" src="https://admin.icccricketschedule.com/uploads/images/202501/image_430x256_6790665563c6d.jpg" alt="" width="741" height="461">
Kuldeep Yadav: The wizard for India in the sub-continent (Image Credit: X)
Kuldeep Yadav, the left-arm Chinaman bowler, has had an immense impact on India’s performances under sub-continent conditions. He is known for his standout services in the ODI format and hence features as the only main spin bowling option in the 11.

<h3 dir="ltr">9: Shaheen Shah Afridi</h3>

As of now, Shaheen Shah Afridi has picked 119 wickets for the Pakistan Cricket Team with an economy of 5.49.
<h3 dir="ltr">10: Jasprit Bumrah</h3>
India’s most deadliest fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah is one of the most feared bowlers in the world currently. Bumrah is an exceptional pacer in all phases of the game, and he can deliver the maximum impact with the new ball as well as in the death overs. Bumrah has not played many ODIs owing to his frequent injuries and still remains doubtful for the Champions Trophy 2025. 
As of now, Jasprit Bumrah has taken a total of 149 wickets with an economy of 4.59 for the Indian side.
<h3 dir="ltr">11: Mohammed Shami</h3>
