India pulled off an exciting and hard-fought victory over England in the final Test match of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series. On a sunny Monday morning at The Oval, England were chasing a big target of 374 runs. They came close, reaching 367, but fell just 6 runs short as India bowled them out in a thrilling finish. With that win, the five-match series ended in a 2-2 draw.

The final day of the match was packed with drama. England needed just 35 more runs with four wickets in hand, but India pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna had other plans. Siraj took five wickets, and Krishna got four, helping India snatch the win in what turned out to be a real edge-of-the-seat contest.

Soon after the match ended, fans were eager to know when the Indian men’s team would play next. Unfortunately, the answer isn't very straightforward. 

India’s Upcoming Fixtures Post Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy

India were originally supposed to tour Bangladesh in August 2025 to play three T20I matches and three One Day Internationals (ODIs). However, both the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Bangladesh Cricket Board decided to postpone the series to 2026. The reason for the delay is to better manage the busy schedules of both teams.

As per the official schedule, India’s next match will be in the 2025 Asia Cup, which will be played in the T20 format. India’s campaign will start with a match against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at the Dubai International Stadium. Then, the Men in Blue will face arch-rivals Pakistan on September 14, followed by a match against Oman on September 19 at the Sheikh Zayed Stadium.
