5 major cricket events to look forward to in September 2025 ft. Asia Cup

August was an uncharacteristically low key month with regard to cricketing action. Team India's five-match Test tour of England concluded with the final Test at The Oval on August 4. The Men in Blue were supposed to travel to Bangladesh from August 17 to August 31. However, the series has been postponed to 2026. As such, India haven't played any international cricket post the England tour.

The Delhi Premier League concluded recently, while Caribbean Premier League and Duleep Trophy are currently underway. South Africa also toured Australia for an entertaining white-ball series, while Pakistan toured West Indies. Overall, though, fans were starved of high-quality cricket.

Luckily, there is plenty of cricketing action in store for fans this month. Here's a look at five major cricket events to look forward to in September 2025.
