WTC 2025–27 cycle officially 17 June 2025 se shuru ho chuka hai. ICC ne har baar ki tarah is baar bhi 2 saal ke liye ek structured Test cricket calendar tayar kiya hai jisme top 9 Test teams apne-apne 6 series khelenge — 3 home aur 3 away. India ne pehle do WTC finals me jagah banayi thi lekin trophy nahi jeet paya. Ab teesre cycle me kya India is baar title jeet payega? Chaliye jaante hain ab tak ka current status aur future planning.
WTC Format: Points Aur Qualification System
ICC ke rules ke mutabiq:
- Har team 6 Test series khelti hai (3 home, 3 away)
- Har match jeetne par 12 points, draw par 4, tie par 6
- Ranking hoti hai PCT (Percentage of Points Earned) ke basis par
Is system mein match jeetne se zyada important hota hai consistently perform karna, chahe series chhoti ho ya badi.
India Ka Expected Test Schedule (WTC 2025–27 Cycle Mein)
ICC ne ab tak official schedule release nahi kiya, lekin FTP (Future Tours Programme) ke hisaab se India ke Test series kuch is tarah ho sakti hain:
| Opponent | Location | Matches (Expected) |
|---|---|---|
| Bangladesh | Home | 2 |
| New Zealand | Away | 2 |
| Australia | Home | 4 |
| South Africa | Away | 2 |
| Sri Lanka | Home | 2 |
| England | Away | 5 |
Total: 17 Tests
Note: Ye schedule tentative hai, aur WTC cycle ke start hone ke baad confirm hoga. source – icc

India vs England Test Series
Qualification Strategy: India Ko Kya Karna Hoga?
Agar pichhle WTC cycles ka pattern follow ho, toh final tak pahuchne ke liye kisi bhi team ko approx. 60–68% PCT maintain karna hota hai.
Iska matlab:
- India ko apne home matches sab jeetne honge
- Away series mein kam se kam 3–4 Tests jeetne honge
- Big series jaise Australia aur England ke khilaaf performance sabse zyada impact karegi
Pichle WTC Records: India Consistently Finalist
- WTC 2019–21: Finalist (Haar vs NZ)
- WTC 2021–23: Finalist (Haar vs AUS)
India har WTC cycle mein strong performer raha hai, lekin trophy abhi bhi door hai. Naye cycle mein fans third time success ki umeed kar rahe hain.
Key Players Jo Impact Dal Sakte Hain
- Shubman Gill (Probable Captain)
Nayi leadership ka pressure hoga, lekin Gill ne khud ko technically sound aur composed batman ke roop mein establish kiya hai. - Rishabh Pant
Fit ho kar wapas aaye hain, aur WTC jaise long-format mein unki aggressive batting aur wicketkeeping kaafi valuable hogi. - Bumrah, Siraj, Shami
Away tours mein pace attack hi jeet ka key banega. - Jadeja
Home pitches pe spin ka jadoo phir chalega. Dono ke pass match-winning ability hai.
Team Depth Aur Rotation Strategy
India ke paas ab ek strong bench strength hai —
- Young talent jaise Yashasvi Jaiswal, Sarfaraz Khan, aur Mukesh Kumar
- WTC jaise 2 saal ke long-format cycle mein rotation aur fitness management crucial role play karega
Kya WTC 2025–27 Trophy Iss Baar India Ke Naam Ho Sakti Hai?
Agar India:
- Har home match jeet le
- England/Australia/South Africa jaise tough teams ke against even 1–2 away Test jeet le
Toh final ke liye qualification possible hai.
Lekin har match mein intent + selection consistency zaroori hogi.
WTC 2025–27 India ke liye ek aur moka hai cricket duniya ke sabse bade Test trophy ko jeetne ka.
