Hyderabad Left Out of India’s 2025 Cricket Home Season Matches

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) revealed the schedule for India’s 2025 international home season on Wednesday evening, which will feature thrilling encounters with the West Indies and South Africa. India will first host the West Indies for two Tests in October, followed by a series of one-day internationals (ODIs) and T20 matches against South Africa.

The West Indies tour will begin with a Test match on October 2, 2025, at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad, followed by the second Test at Kolkata's iconic Eden Gardens. South Africa will then arrive in India for two Tests in November 2025, marking a historic first-ever Test in Guwahati. The series will continue with three ODIs and five T20 matches across various Indian cities.

While fans across the country are excited, there is disappointment in Hyderabad as the city has not been included in the schedule.
