India is in contention to compete in the WTC final.
India is presently fourth in the WTC points standings, although they are still in contention to finish in the top two. Australia, South Africa, and Sri Lanka are ahead of India, but India has two Test matches against Bangladesh this month, followed by a four-match home Test series against Australia in February and March. As a result, if India wins the remaining games, they have a good chance of reaching the WTC final.
IPL 2023 is slated to begin on March 31 or April 1 in Ahmedabad. The timing is too near to an international game since India will host Australia for three ODIs following the Test series, with the final ODI scheduled for March 22, only 10 days before the probable start of IPL 2023. The official dates and locations of the home international games will be revealed soon.
