Team India conquered the World Test Championship points table for two years, putting up some incredible performances in the game’s purest form. Unfortunately, the Indian team did not perform well in the World Test Championship final, and so as a result, they finished as runners-up. Lets look at India WTC 2nd Cycle Schedule.

As per India’s Future Tour Programmes (FTP) for 2021-23, the team will play in 6 Test series, 3 at home, and the remainder on the tour.
