BCCI (Board of Control for Cricket in India) have announced the fixtures for their upcoming bumper home season which will see them hosting New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka and South Africa.
India’s home season 2021-22 will commence just three days after the culmination of the ICC T20 World Cup 2021 which speaks a lot about how hectic proceedings are going to be for the Indian cricket team.
India will start their home season by hosting New Zealand for a three-match T20I series and following it with a two-match Test series against them.
Scheduled to travel to South Africa for an all-format tour in December-January, India will then get to rest for some 10 days before playing three ODIs and as many T20Is against West Indies in the next two weeks.
India will then host Sri Lanka for a two-match Test series and a three-match T20I series. Post the 15th season of the Indian Premier League, India are surprisingly slated to host South Africa for a five-match T20I series in June, which is a rarity as far as international cricket in India is concerned. The only other time when India have played international cricket at home in June was during the one-off Test against Afghanistan in 2018.
