A good year, not the worst. I think this can set up a platform for some new faces, and settle their place into the Indian Squads by the end of the season, removing the doubts replacing if the big'uns will be retiring. Expect to Badri, Pujara, and all those chaps who sparkled for replacements and went off the scene. Zimbabwe and Bangladesh tours may be the easiest, so new players can get a dump in into the Squads.
The Asia cup, coming soon again, for India to get a boost, you have one-day series' all the months before the Tournament. So playing South Africa in India and Sri-lanka-Bangladesh tri series before Asia Cup can make India Prepared. Nice.
T20 worldcup is one year early, and in the West Indies. So India might want to take revenge for their last T20 WC performances and the 50-50 WC memories. It's a tough ask but it's a tournament to see.
The next half is almost a carbon copy of the past few years, and some thing to get excited about with Australia playing another huge 7-ODIers, and following up is NEW ZEALAND! The series i believe will drag huge attention. There are many similarities between India and NZ, so the Kiwis will be a challenge In India, not to mention the Domestic IPL, and Champions League featuring several New Zealand players, so India would wish to bite another series into wins.
Good year, decent. Year to watch out for.
