As per reports, the BCCI is expected to cite commitments in recently concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy to seek an extension from the ICC. The five-match T20I series, which will take place before the ODI series and CT 2025, will kick-start from January 22. Kolkata, Chennai, Rajkot, Pune and Mumbai will host the games respectively. India have been in stellar form in T20Is in 2024, having won the T20 World Cup under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma. The team lifted the title for the 2nd time following which stalwarts Rohit, Virat and Jadeja announced their retirement.
The transition was smooth as Suryakumar Yadav was named the skipper in the shortest format. India dominated the shortest format in the remainder of 2024, clinching series wins against Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe and South Africa. The likes of Sanju Samson, Yashasvi Jaiswal, Arshdeep Singh, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Shivam Dube among others are expected to feature in the upcoming series against England.
