BCCI New Plan for Team India: The excitement of the Champions Trophy 2025 is at its peak in the cricket world right now. The tournament will end on March 9 and about two weeks after that, the IPL (IPL2025) will start in India. The tournament will run for about 2 months, but the Indian team's schedule is going to be very busy in the coming months. The India-England (IND vs ENG Test 2025) Test series will start within a few weeks of the conclusion of IPL 2025. Now a new update has come out that keeping in mind the Test series against England, the BCCI may ask Indian players to play red cricket between IPL.
According to Cricbuzz, BCCI is working on a strategy to ensure that Indian players remain involved in Test cricket during IPL. It is being told that some players may be ordered to participate in red ball practice sessions or other activities. Let us tell you that the next season of IPL will be played from 22 March to 25 May. At the same time, the five-match Test series between India and England will start from 20 June.
The complete details of this plan have been kept secret for now, but some meetings have been called regarding making the players play red ball cricket during the IPL season. The Indian team management also discussed this topic in Dubai. Dubai is the same place where the Indian team is staying for its Champions Trophy matches. It is reported that an attempt was made to prepare a roadmap for this plan during the India vs Pakistan match last Sunday.
Gautam Gambhir took over as the head coach of the Indian team after the T20 World Cup last year. A 3-Test series was played between India and New Zealand during October-November last year. Team India had to face a 3-0 defeat in that series. New Zealand became the first country to clean sweep India in a Test series at its home. At the same time, the Indian team had to lose the WTC final due to a 3-1 defeat in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia.
