Indian Cricket team 2016-17 Schedule; See here

New Delhi: As a bonanza for the purists of the game, Indian Cricket team is scheduled to play 13 Tests as compared to only 5 ODIs and 3 T20s in the coming cricket season.

The dearth of test cricket has not been to the liking of real lovers of the cricket but the 2016-17 calendar of ICC has given them a reason to rejoice. Not only for them but more tests will mean more opportunities for the budding cricketers in India.

Virat Kohli led India will play these test matches against New Zealand, England, Australia and Bangladesh in the coming months.
