Team India's next set of home tours has been disclosed, with two cricketing giants all set to set foot in the country and compete in the exciting game of cricket. The white-ball series against West Indies will be significant as they last visited India 12 years ago. India's last visit to the Caribbean for a bilateral series happened in 2022, and it was a white-ball series.

Guwahati To Host Maiden Test Match Between India And South Africa
Apart from the West Indies series, India will be hosting South Africa for an all-format series, which will feature two Tests, three ODIs and five T20Is. The limited-over series would serve as a preparatory stage for the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026. The first test will be held in Delhi, while the second test will take place in Guwahati. It will be the first time that the ACA Stadium hosts a Test match, as it has hosted white-ball matches over the years and has also been host to a couple of IPL matches.
