India cricket schedule 2021-2022
New Zealand tour of India
Team India is set to play 3 T20Is and 2 tests against New Zealand at home. The tour will start on 17 November 2021 with the T20Is, and it will end on 7 December with the test series.
Jaipur, Ranchi, and Kolkata will host the T20Is, whereas Mumbai and Kanpur will host the tests.
India tour of South Africa
Just after 10 days of New Zealand’s tests, India will start their South African tour on 17 December 2021. The tour will consist of 3 tests, 3 ODIs, and 4 T20Is. Johannesburg will host the first test on 17 December 2021, whereas Paarl will host the last T20I on 26 January 2022.
Johannesburg, Centurion, and Cape Town will host the test games, whereas Paarl and Cape Town will host all the white-ball games.
India isn’t playing any warmup games before the first Test in South Africa. Workload management is necessary…absolutely necessary…but no game-time for batters ahead of the first Test in SA might be a source of regret. IMHO.
