India women's cricket schedule 2026: Full list of fixtures for Women in Blue with dates, time, venues

India women’s cricket team enjoyed a memorable and highly successful 2025, a year that marked their maiden ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup triumph, achieved in style on home soil. They capped off the season with a memorable 5-0 clean sweep of Sri Lanka in T20Is.

Meanwhile, the Indian women’s team has a packed and exciting calendar lined up in 2026, with major overseas tours, a T20 World Cup campaign, and a historic Test match at Lord’s. From the Women’s Premier League at the start of the year to the Asian Games later in the season, the Women in Blue will be busy across all formats.

The year will begin with the Women’s Premier League (WPL), which is scheduled to be held in January-February, a slight shift from last season when it took place in February-March. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 is slated to be held during the same period and hence a shift.
