What Next for India after Women’s World Cup Triumph?
The Indian women’s team made the nation soaked into celebration and pride, as the Women in Blue finally ended their long-awaited dream of lifting the coveted trophy.

Following the Women’s World Cup triumph, Team India does not have any international assignments over the next three months. The Harmanpreet Kaur-led side is scheduled to tour Australia in early 2026, where they will play three T20Is, as many ODIs, and a one-off Test in February–March.
Thereafter, Team India will play a three-match T20I series against hosts England in May-June as a warm-up for the Women’s T20 World Cup, scheduled to take place in England later in June. After claiming the Women’s ODI World Cup title, Team India will look to carry their winning form forward and aim to clinch the Women’s T20 World Cup on English soil.
