India's Next Match: Date, Time, Opponent, And Schedule Revealed

With the Champions Trophy 2025 tournament now over, the big question is-what's next for Team India? When will they return to international cricket?

Team India's Champions Trophy 2025 campaign ended on a high note, with veteran opener Rohit Sharma leading the team to a four-wicket victory over New Zealand in the final. This triumph marked Rohit's second ICC title in just nine months, bringing immense joy to millions of Indian cricket fans.

However, with the tournament now over, the big question is-what's next for Team India? When will they return to international cricket, and who will be their next opponent? Here's all you need to know.

When is India's next international match?

Following their Champions Trophy win, Indian players will now shift focus to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025. With the franchise tournament taking center stage, fans will have to wait a while before seeing Team India back in action on the international stage.

India's next international match is scheduled for June 20, after the IPL, when they head to England for a high-stakes five-match Test series.

Where & against whom will India play next?

Team India will tour England for a five-match Test series, marking a transition from white-ball cricket to the red-ball format. The first Test will be played at Headingley on June 20, and the series will continue until July 31.

This series will be crucial for captain Rohit Sharma, who faced criticism after India's struggles in Australia. However, after clinching the Champions Trophy, Rohit has reaffirmed his leadership credentials and will look to lead India to success in English conditions.

Bumrah to replace Rohit as Test captain?

Jasprit Bumrah, who missed out on the Champions Trophy, is likely to make a comeback for India's Test series against England. Reports suggest that he could even be named the new Test captain. If Bumrah takes over the leadership role, there is a possibility that Rohit Sharma might not find a place in the squad.
