Team India didn't have the best 2022 season. The star-studded side failed in two major tournaments, triggering massive criticism from all quarters. While Team India maintained their dominance in the bilateral contests by beating England in white-ball contests, South Africa, and Australia at home, Men in Blue faltered in major tournaments like Asia Cup and T20 World Cup 2022.
However, Team India will get a couple of chances in the year 2023 to end their title drought as Asia Cup 2023, and the highly-anticipated 50-over World Cup 2023 are part of the calendar. Men in Blue will get a lot of opportunities in the form of bilateral contests to settle their squad for the major tournaments.
Let’s look at the complete calendar for the Indian men's team in 2023.
