New Delhi, Dec 25 || The Indian women's cricket team enters 2026 riding on unprecedented momentum after their historic triumph in the 2025 ODI World Cup, with a packed schedule offering multiple opportunities to cement their dominance.
The World Cup victory - India's first-ever senior ICC women’s trophy - has transformed expectations around the Harmanpreet Kaur-led side. It has also meant that the narrative around the Indian team has shifted from contenders to being capable of winning championships consistently.
Adding to it, India retaining its 2025 U19 Women’s T20 World Cup title in Malaysia and the A team winning a 50-over series in Australia meant 2025 will forever be remembered as a golden year for women’s cricket in the country.
After the five T20Is against Sri Lanka end their 2025 commitments, the members of the Indian team will join their respective franchises for the 2026 Women's Premier League (WPL) happening from January 9 to February 5 in Navi Mumbai and Vadodara. It will be the first WPL edition since the ODI World Cup triumph, and everyone’s attention will be on the new gems that the event will produce for the national team.
