India begin 2027 ODI World Cup roadmap with Afghanistan series

India’s long-term planning for the 2027 ODI World Cup begins with the three-match series against Afghanistan, starting in Dharamsala on Saturday. While the immediate focus will be on winning the series, the team management will also use the opportunity to assess players and combinations for the future.

Showing the way

In a world increasingly fractured by distrust, rivalry, and polarisation, India stands today as an unexpected but undeniable centre of gravity. This rise did not happen by accident; it is the cumulative effect of a decade marked by purposeful leadership, democratic stability, cultural confidence, and a foreign policy that has redefined India’s place in world affairs.

Fractured ties

Relations between India and Bangladesh are entering one of their most fragile phases in decades, not because of a single diplomatic dispute but due to the dangerous interaction of street violence, political uncertainty, and hardening narratives on both sides of the border.
