BCCI Unveils Packed 2025 Home Season: IND Women to Host Australia, India A to Face Australia and South Africa

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced a robust and diverse fixture list for the 2025 home season, with a focus on preparing the senior women’s team for the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup and giving valuable exposure to India A’s emerging talents.

Women’s Team Gears Up for World Cup with Home Series vs Australia

India’s home season begins with a high-profile clash as the women’s national team hosts Australia for a three-match ODI series in Chennai, starting September 14. This series comes just weeks after India’s challenging limited-overs tour of England in July and will be crucial preparation ahead of the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup, which India is set to host in October-November.
