India's next matches after England Test series: Team India concluded their tour of England on a high, drawing the five-match Test series 2-2. Despite missing some senior players, the young Indian squad put in a spirited performance, showcasing depth and resilience.

After spending nearly six weeks overseas, the players are now set to return home and will enjoy a well-earned month-long break before their next assignment.

Indian Players to take a breather

Trailing 2-1 after the third Test, India’s comeback was remarkable. Under the leadership of Shubman Gill, the team bounced back by drawing the fourth match and winning the final Test at The Oval.

With the England tour now over, Indian players will take time off from international duties. Their next major tournament is the Asia Cup 2025, which kicks off in September. Until then, no international matches are scheduled for the Men in Blue.

Focus Shifts to Asia Cup 2025 in UAE

India’s next mission is the Asia Cup 2025, which will be hosted by the United Arab Emirates. The T20-format tournament will feature eight teams: India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, UAE, Oman, and Hong Kong.

Placed in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, India will begin their campaign against the host nation on September 10 in Dubai.

India vs Pakistan Set for September 14 Clash

One of the most anticipated encounters of the tournament will take place on September 14, when India takes on arch-rivals Pakistan at the Dubai International Stadium. The final of the Asia Cup 2025 is scheduled for September 28, also in Dubai.

As defending champions, India will aim to retain their title and continue their momentum from the England tour.
