The Indian Cricket Team will return to action on Tuesday for a one-off T20I against Japan at the Sano International Cricket Ground in Tochigi. The match will start at 9:30 AM IST and will be India’s final game before the Asian Games 2026.
The match comes just a few days after India completed a 3-0 T20I series win over Afghanistan in New Delhi. Abhishek Sharma was one of the main highlights of the series as he scored a 30-ball century in the third T20I.
India will now face Japan for the first time in men’s international cricket. The game will be a new experience for both teams, with Japan getting a chance to play against India’s strong T20I side.
Shreyas Iyer will captain India in the match, while Tilak Varma will be the vice-captain. The youngster Vaibhav Sooryavanshi is also in the squad and could get a chance to play after sitting out the Afghanistan series.
Sanju Samson also had a good series against Afghanistan, scoring two half-centuries. He is part of India’s squad for the Japan game and could get another chance to make an impact.
The match is being played under the Suzuki Cup as part of the Sport 75 initiative, which marks 75 years of India-Japan diplomatic relations.
Japan will be taking this game seriously as they prepare to face India for the first time in men’s international cricket. The hosts will be led by Kendel Kadowaki-Fleming, who is their leading run-scorer in T20Is.
