Team India ka 2026 ka doosra half kaafi busy hone wala hai — Test cricket, ODI, T20I, aur ek Olympic-style multi-sport event tak, sab kuch is saal ke calendar mein hai. Zimbabwe ke khilaaf 3-0 T20I series jeetne ke baad, ab fans ki nazrein agli badi challenge par hain: Sri Lanka ke against Test series.
Is listicle mein hum step-by-step dekhenge ki India ka next match kab hai, uske baad kaunse series aane wale hain, squad mein kaun hoga, aur aap yeh matches kahan dekh sakte ho. Chaliye shuru karte hain.
1. India Ka Immediate Next Match: Sri Lanka Test Series (15 August 2026)
Sabse pehle asli sawaal ka jawab — India ka agla match 15 August 2026 ko shuru ho raha hai. Yeh ek do-match Test series hai Sri Lanka ke khilaaf, jo World Test Championship 2025-27 cycle ka important hissa hai. India nau saal baad Sri Lanka ka apna pehla Test tour kar rahi hai, aur dono teams ko recent heavy defeats ke baad WTC points ki sakht zaroorat hai.
Pehla Test Galle International Stadium mein khela jayega, aur dono Test matches subah 10:00 baje IST se shuru honge. Yeh series is liye bhi khaas hai kyunki India Sri Lanka mein paanch Test jeet ka streak lekar ja rahi hai, aur waha unhone 2008 ke baad koi series nahi haari hai.
2. Match Timings Aur Session Details
Agar aap live match dekhne ka plan bana rahe ho to timing samajhna zaroori hai. Pehla session do ghante ka hoga, uske baad 40 minute ka lunch break aayega. Play 12:40 PM IST par dobara shuru hoga aur 2:40 PM tak chalega, phir 20 minute ka tea break hoga. Final session 3:00 PM se 5:00 PM IST tak chalega. Din-raat wala Test nahi hoga, floodlights hone ke bawajood dono match traditional format mein hi khele jayenge.
3. Dusra Test Kab Aur Kaha?
Series ka doosra Test Colombo mein Sinhalese Sports Club ke ground par hoga. Recently yaha floodlights lagai gayi hain, lekin phir bhi match day-night nahi hoga — dono games traditional 10 AM local start time par khele jayenge. Yeh series 27 August tak khatam ho jayegi, jiske baad India ka focus turant white-ball cricket ki taraf shift ho jayega.
4. India Ka Test Squad — Kaun Khelega Galle Mein?
Sri Lanka series ke liye India ka squad kaafi interesting hai. Shubman Gill 15-member squad ki captaincy karenge, KL Rahul vice-captain hain. Squad mein Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant, Sai Sudharsan, Dhruv Jurel, Ravindra Jadeja, Kuldeep Yadav, Manav Suthar aur Jasprit Bumrah shaamil hain.
Sabse badi khushkhabri yeh hai ki Ravindra Jadeja IPL 2026 ke dauran laga tennis elbow injury se recover ho chuke hain aur team mein wapas aa gaye hain. Unki spin bowling aur lower-order batting Sri Lanka ki turning pitches par kaafi kaam aayegi.
Lekin har khabar achi nahi hai — Washington Sundar pehle Test ke liye available nahi hain, aur Sai Sudharsan ke saath-saath Jasprit Bumrah ka khelna bhi BCCI ke medical team ki fitness clearance par depend karega. Agar Bumrah fit nahi hote, to India ke pace attack mein bada gap aa sakta hai.
5. Naya Chehra: Saransh Jain Ki Entry
Is squad ka ek fresh naam hai Saransh Jain, jinhe pehli baar Test call-up mila hai. Selectors ne youth aur experience ka mix rakha hai — Manav Suthar apni jagah bacha chuke hain, aur Saransh Jain ko bhi ek naya mauka mila hai. Halaanki expectation yahi hai ki pehle Test mein Kuldeep Yadav, Manav Suthar aur Jadeja ki spin-trio hi khele.
6. Practice Match Se Preparation
Directly Test series mein jump karna easy nahi hota, isliye India warm-up bhi karegi. Team pehle Colombo mein ek four-day practice match khelegi, uske baad Galle (15 August) aur Colombo (23 August) mein asli Tests khelegi. Yeh preparation batting aur bowling combinations final karne mein madad karegi, especially spin-heavy conditions ke liye.
7. Sri Lanka Ke Baad: West Indies Ka India Tour
Sri Lanka series khatam hote hi India ghar wapas aayegi aur West Indies ki mezbani karegi. West Indies India tour September-October 2026 mein hoga, jisme teen ODI aur T20I matches shaamil hain. 27 September ko pehla ODI Thiruvananthapuram mein, 30 September ko doosra ODI Guwahati mein, aur 3 October ko teesra ODI Mullanpur mein khela jayega. Isi tour ka T20I leg 6 October se Lucknow mein shuru hoga.
Yeh series Asian Games se pehle ek zaroori practice ki tarah kaam aayegi, jaha India apne T20 squad ko final touches degi.
8. Afghanistan Ke Khilaaf Home Series
September mein hi India, Afghanistan ki security wajah se apne hi ghar mein hosting karegi. Yeh pehli baar hoga jab Afghanistan formally India ko host karega, matches security reasons ki wajah se India mein hi khele jayenge. Reports ke mutabik dates 13, 15/16 aur 17/19 September ke aas-paas hain. Yeh series Asian Games se pehle India ke liye ek aur important warm-up hai.
9. Asian Games 2026 — India Apna Gold Kya Bacha Payegi?
Cricket fans ke liye Asian Games bhi is saal ka ek highlight hai. India ke men’s aur women’s, dono cricket teams Asian Games 2026 mein apna gold medal defend karne ki koshish karengi, jo Aichi aur Nagoya, Japan mein 19 September se 4 October tak hoga. Men’s T20 cricket event 24 September se 1 October ke beech hoga, aur India seedha quarter-finals mein enter karegi, jo lagbhag 28 September ke aas-paas ho sakta hai.
Yeh event international calendar mein zyada highlight nahi hota, lekin medal ki value ki wajah se players ke liye kaafi matter karta hai.
10. New Zealand Ka Tough Overseas Tour
2026 ke sabse mushkil assignments mein se ek hai New Zealand tour. India ke sabse tough overseas assignments mein se ek hoga New Zealand ka full-fledged tour, jisme paanch T20I, paanch ODI aur do Test matches shaamil hain. Is tour se pehle India ko West Indies aur Afghanistan series se momentum milega, lekin New Zealand ki pitches par Kiwi bowlers hamesha challenging hote hain.
11. Saal Ka Aakhri International Assignment: Sri Lanka India Aayegi
2026 ka calendar khatam hone se pehle, Sri Lanka khud India aayegi ek reverse tour ke liye. Sri Lanka cricket team 13 se 27 December 2026 ke beech India ka tour karegi, jisme teen ODI aur teen T20I matches khele jayenge. Yeh saal ka final white-ball assignment hoga aur home crowd ke saamne India apne squad ko naye saal ke liye ready karegi.
