India’s 2024 calendar

India will play Afghanistan in a three-match T20I series with Mohali hosting the first contest and will be followed by Indore and Bengaluru.

Test cricket will then take over as India will host England for a five-match Test series starting on 25th January 2024. The exciting Test series will be played at Hyderabad, Vizag, Rajkot, Ranchi, and Dharamsala.

Interestingly, Dharamsala missed out on hosting India vs Australia contest in March as the stadium was not in a condition to host. However, it will now make up for that loss as India and England will stage their rivalry in the hill station of Himachal in 2024.

After the conclusion of the England series, the IPL 2024 will be on the agenda as the premier competition will be in focus.
