The Vijay Hazare Trophy (VHT) 2025-26 is all set to commence as part of India’s domestic cricket calendar, following the Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy (SMAT). As the premier domestic one-day competition, it will feature some of the country’s elite cricketers, including Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, Shubman Gill, Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja. 

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has mandated that Team India players participate in domestic matches whenever their schedule allows them to do so.

It has helped bring the Indian international cricketers back to the domestic fold, where they get to fine-tune their skills ahead of a mega cricketing series or any tournament.

A total of 38 teams from across the domestic circuit will compete in the List A format, promising an exciting spectacle for fans. The tournament begins on December 24, 2025, with the final scheduled for January 18, 2026.
