India’s ODI Schedule Leading Up To ICC World Cup 2027: Everything Known So Far
India’s ODI roadmap to the 2027 World Cup is taking shape, with key series lined up against Australia, England, South Africa and more. Shubman Gill leads the side as ODI captain.
India's One-Day International (ODI) scenario has been a major topic of discussion of late, particularly due to the appointment of Shubman Gill as the captain in the format, sidelining Rohit Sharma.
The next major trophy at stake in the 50-over game is the 2027 ICC World Cup, and while there quite a while left in its arrival from now, the Men in Blue have their course set until then for the most part.
With multiple series planned against top sides at home and away, here's a look at India's ODI schedule until the 2027 ODI World Cup so far.
ICC World Cup: All of India's known ODI series until then
IND vs Australia Away Series
Three ODIs between October 19 and 25, 2025.
IND vs South Africa Home Series
Three ODIs between November 30 and December 6, 2025
IND vs New Zealand Home Series

As mentioned, Shubman Gill has been appointed as the new Indian ODI captain. Shreyas Iyer has been designated as his deputy.
Veterans Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma continue in the format for the time being, but their participation in the 2027 ICC World Cup is up in the air as of this writing.
