Team India has a busy schedule this year, having recently made history by winning the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. Following this championship victory, the players will be engaged in the Indian Premier League (IPL) starting from March 28. After the conclusion of IPL 2026, the Afghanistan team is set to tour India for three ODIs and one Test match, making for a packed international schedule for the team. Amidst this busy schedule, Team India is also preparing for a short tour to Ireland at the end of June, where they are expected to play two white-ball matches. This tour is considered significant for preparations leading up to the Afghanistan and England series. While the official confirmation of the match formats is still pending, it is anticipated that both matches will be played in the T20 format. The formal announcement of this tour is expected soon from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Cricket Ireland. Sources indicate that these matches are likely to take place in the fourth week of June. This short tour represents an important part of Team India's international calendar, allowing them to hone their skills and strategies ahead of their upcoming engagements against Afghanistan and England.
