As part of the 2022-2025 Future Tours Programme (FTP), India will face the West Indies in three T20 Internationals in Navi Mumbai and three One-Day Internationals in Vadodara next month.
In January 2025, India will host Ireland at Rajkot for three ODIs. This will be the first series played against India since 2006 and the bilateral visit by Ireland women to India.
December 22, 24, and 27 are the dates for ODIs, and December 15, 17, and 19 are the dates for T20Is against the West Indies. The dates of Ireland’s three One-Day International matches are January 10, 12, and 15. Both ODI series will take place during the 2022–2025 ICC Women’s Championship.
