India won their last two editions of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Soon after the Test series against Australia, the focus will shift on Champions Trophy 2025 which will be the first ICC tournament of the ongoing year.

Team India who are in Group A alongside Pakistan, Bangladesh and New Zealand will play three league matches to qualify for the semifinal of the marquee event.
