Sri Lanka Women tour of India 2025

India will host Sri Lanka Women for a five-match T20I series from 21–30 December 2025. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced the schedule: the first two matches will be played at the ACA-VDCA Stadium in Visakhapatnam, and the remaining three fixtures will take place at the University Stadium, Thiruvananthapuram. This series marks an important home assignment late in the year for India’s women cricketers and is scheduled soon after India’s high-profile international fixtures earlier in 2025.

The five T20Is form part of India’s packed women’s calendar and will give both sides a short, sharp format contest ahead of other international commitments. Match timings, ticketing information and broadcast partners were referenced in the BCCI announcement and several national sports outlets; fans in India and abroad can expect live telecasts and streaming arrangements to be confirmed closer to the first match.

Series Schedule

The confirmed schedule (date, match and venue) published by the BCCI is shown below. These fixtures are the official match dates announced for the IDFC FIRST Bank T20I series between India Women and Sri Lanka Women.

Venues & Local Context

Visakhapatnam’s ACA-VDCA Stadium has hosted several international fixtures and is a regular choice for India’s home series; its coastal setting and infrastructure make it suitable for high-profile matches. Thiruvananthapuram’s University Stadium returns to the international front after hosting domestic and regional fixtures, and will stage the last three games of the series, allowing southern crowds easy access to matchday action.

Why the Series Matters

The tour is significant for both teams: India uses the series to rotate players, test combinations in the shortest format and maintain momentum in the lead-up to future ICC events, while Sri Lanka gain valuable experience against a top side away from home. The compact schedule provides match practice, an opportunity for fringe players to stake claims, and a chance for selectors to evaluate squad depth across conditions. Coverage in major sports outlets framed the series as a useful preparation window on India soil.

Practical Information for Fans

Fans planning to attend should monitor official BCCI channels for ticket release dates, venue entry rules and COVID-19 related advisories (if any). Broadcast schedules and streaming options will be announced by rights holders closer to the first game; international viewers should check local sports broadcasters and streaming platforms for availability. Official team announcements—squads, captains and matchday lineups—will typically be released a few days before each fixture.
