Team India’s home season schedule for 2021-22: New Zealand, West Indies, Sri Lanka & South Africa to tour

Team India will start their jam-packed home season for 2021-22 with a three-match T20I series against New Zealand on November 17 in Jaipur. This series will be a new beginning, following Virat Kohli’s decision to withdraw from T20I captaincy after the T20 World Cup, which ends on November 14.

The T20I leg will be followed by two Test matches against the Kiwis in Kanpur and Mumbai. Notably, this will be New Zealand’s first Test tour of India since 2016.

After the New Zealand series, India will travel to South Africa for a full tour (December 17 – January 26) and then return home to host West Indies for the white-ball fixtures, starting February 06 in Ahmedabad.

After Windies, Sri Lanka will also visit India to play two Test matches in Bengaluru and Mohali, followed by a three-match T20I series in Mohali, Dharamshala and Lucknow.

In mid-2022, right after the Indian Premier League (IPL), India will host South Africa for a five-match T20I series. This will come in handy as a preparation for the T20 World Cup later in the year in Australia.
