Team India future in ODIs after series defeat against Sri Lanka
After the ODI World Cup 2023, India played only six ODI games won 2 and lost 3 while one ended in a tie. Interestingly three of them were played in 2023 and three in 2024 and that’s all for the entire year, which means the men in blue will not be seen playing the 50-over format in 2024.
With the increasing popularity of T20 cricket and multiple test series lined up as part of WTC cycle 2023-25, India will next play One-day international matches in February 2025, which will be a 3-match series against England right before the next big ICC event, Champions Trophy.
