Cricket in 2024: Full list of matches involving Indian men’s and women’s teams in New Year

Another year has flown by in the blink of an eye and it’s that time when we reflect on the highs and the lows of 2023 while eagerly anticipating what’s in store for us in 2024.

As far as Indian cricket goes, it was quite the dominant year for the men’s team where they were streets ahead of their rivals, especially in the ODI format where they had an outstanding win-loss ratio of 2.800.

Yet they ended the year without a single ICC trophy, losing the final of the World Test Championship as well as the World Cup, both against Australia, to extend a decade-long run without a major title in global events. They did however, win the Asia Cup for a record-extending eighth time after thrashing Sri Lanka in the final by 10 wickets.

The women’s team too failed to win a major title this year, bowing out of the T20 World Cup in South Africa with a semi-final defeat against eventual champions Australia. They did, however, end the year on a high by defeating both England and Australia in one-off Tests by lopsided margins of 347 runs and 8 wickets, all within a space of 10 days.

With the year nearly coming to an end, we take a look at what’s in store as far as India’s cricketing schedule in 2024 is concerned (including only what’s been confirmed so far):
