The India Women’s Cricket Team’s historic win at the 2025 ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup has created a new wave of excitement across the country. After a dominant campaign and a well-earned world title, fans are eager to know what comes next for the champions.
Here’s a complete and updated look at the team’s upcoming matches and how they are gearing up for the next phase.
India Women’s Next Series: December 2025 T20Is vs Sri Lanka
India will return to action with a five-match T20 International series against Sri Lanka from 21–30 December 2025.
Match Venues:
- Visakhapatnam – First two T20Is
- Thiruvananthapuram – Final three T20Is
Why this series matters:
- It marks India’s first international series after their World Cup win
- Offers valuable preparation time ahead of a busy 2026 season
- Helps identify new combinations in the T20 format
- Gives emerging and bench players a chance to shine
This series was originally postponed, and now it acts as the perfect launchpad for the next chapter in Indian women’s cricket.
India’s Tour of Australia – Early 2026
One of the most anticipated moments of the upcoming year is India’s multi-format tour of Australia.
Expected formats:
- T20Is
- ODIs
- A Test match
This tour will be one of India’s biggest challenges post-World Cup, and it will:
- Test the team’s ability in fast, bouncy Australian conditions
- Strengthen the squad’s exposure across formats
- Serve as high-quality preparation for major ICC events
- Help refine India’s approach to long overseas tours
The Australia tour will also help India assess squad depth and choose the right combinations for future tournaments.
Road to ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026
With another global tournament just months away, India’s focus will soon shift to T20 cricket.
Key preparation priorities include:
- Boosting power-hitting at the top and middle order
- Sharpening death-overs execution
- Rotating bowlers to manage workloads
- Building a strong bench of all-rounders and finishers
The Sri Lanka series and Australia tour together form the core of India’s preparation for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Challenges Ahead
Even as World Champions, the road ahead is demanding. India must continue to:
- Maintain consistency across formats
- Manage player fatigue during a packed international calendar
- Develop young talents to support senior players
- Balance performance and experimentation before major tournaments
How the team handles these challenges will define the strength of the next generation.
The 2025 World Cup triumph is not the end of a journey—it’s the beginning of a new era. With the Sri Lanka T20Is, a high-voltage Australia tour, and the 2026 T20 World Cup approaching, India has a thrilling year ahead.
If the team maintains the same hunger and discipline that crowned them world champions, they are set to dominate women’s cricket for years to come.
