The Karnataka State Cricket Association: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has announced the schedule for senior mens international home matches for the 2026-27 season, which features an exciting, action-packed schedule with four visiting teams, West Indies, Sri Lanka, Zimbabwe, and Australia, across multiple formats. The Men in Blue will play 22 international matches across 17 cities, giving fans nationwide the chance to see top-tier international cricket. Notably, the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru is set to host international games for the first time since October 2024, when India played New Zealand in the third Test of a five-match series. The Karnataka State Cricket Association announced on Saturday that the venue had received the governments permission to host Indian Premier League and international games. Cricket at the venue had been suspended in June 2024 following a stampede during the Royal Challengers Bengalurus (RCB) maiden title celebrations, which resulted in 11 deaths and multiple injuries. Additionally, a key highlight of the announcement is that the Barsapara Cricket Stadium (ACA Stadium) in Guwahati will host a Border-Gavaskar series Test for the first time. In November 2025, the venue hosted its first-ever red-ball game since its establishment in 2012, when South Africa toured India for a multi-format series, making the upcoming BGT Test only the second red-ball game to be played there. The season kicks off with the West Indies' tour of India (September 27 to October 17). It will include a three-match ODI series, followed by a five-match T20I series. The ODIs will be held in Trivandrum, Guwahati, and New Chandigarh, while the T20Is will take place in Lucknow, Ranchi, Indore, Hyderabad, and Bengaluru. India will host Sri Lanka for a white-ball series featuring three ODIs and three T20Is from December 13 to 27. The ODIs will be held in Delhi, Bengaluru, and Ahmedabad, while the T20Is are scheduled in Rajkot, Cuttack, and Pune. In recent years, Delhi has faced intense air pollution during winters, notably affecting players during the 2017 India-Sri Lanka Test, where some experienced breathing issues and nausea. Last year, the BCCI initially scheduled a Test against the West Indies in Kolkata in October and another against South Africa in Delhi in November. These tests were eventually rescheduled so that Delhi could host the match before pollution levels rise around Diwali. At the beginning of the new year, Zimbabwe will visit India for a three-match ODI series from January 3 to 9, with games scheduled to take place in Kolkata, Hyderabad, and Mumbai. The season will conclude with the highly esteemed and eagerly awaited Border-Gavaskar Trophy against Australia from January 21 to March 3. The first match of the highly anticipated Test series will be held in Nagpur. The series will then proceed to Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi, and Ahmedabad, offering an exciting competition between two of the top teams in international cricket.

State of Working India 2026: India's Young Workforce is Growing and Getting More Educated
State of Working India 2026 ’ report. However, challenges remain and the extent to which the large, increasingly educated, and aspirational cohort is absorbed into the labour market will determine whether India’s demographic dividend translates into an economic dividend. L-R: Amit Basole, Rosa Abraham & Tamoghna Halder from Azim Premji University “More young people today are educated, informed, and ambitious than ever before. These are real achievements of which we can be proud,” noted Indu Prasad, President, Azim Premji Universities . The report draws on official databases going back four decades to see how youth participation in education and employment has changed, how well we have been able to use this demographic dividend, and the challenges and opportunities that arise in integrating them into the workforce. Rosa Abraham, lead author of the report and Associate Professor of Economics at Azim Premji University said, “The report traces the journey of a young worker - from education to job search and employment, and how this transition has evolved over the last forty years. We hope the report will lay out some of the foundational work that will contribute to a better understanding of the challenges in this transition and enable coordinated policymaking.” Key Findings Demographic dividend nearing peak: India’s working-age population share will begin declining after 2030. The pace of job creation in the coming decades is critical to ensure that the demographic dividend translates into an economic one. Rising educational attainment: Youth education levels have increased significantly over four decades, especially among women. India’s tertiary enrolment rate (28%) is comparable to countries with similar per capita incomes. Drop in male tertiary enrolment: The share of young men in education fell from 38% in 2017 to 34% in late 2024, with a large share citing the need to support household incomes as reason for their withdrawal. Expansion of higher education institutions: College availability increased from 29 per lakh youth (2010) to 45 (2021), mainly driven by private institutions. However, regional disparities remain large. Teacher shortages: Faculty growth has not matched rising student numbers. Against AICTE norms of 15–20 students per teacher, private colleges average 28 and public colleges 47. Hiring and filling up vacancies remain crucial to ensure that learning outcomes are not compromised due to resource constraints. Rapid expansion of vocational institutes: The number of Industrial Training Institutes (ITIs) has grown by nearly 300% since the 2010s, largely due to private providers. But, institutional quality, especially among private ITIs, has fallen. Higher education has become increasingly democratised but financial barriers remain: Between 2007 and 2017, the share of students in tertiary education who belong to the poorest households increased from 8 percent to 15 percent. Financial barriers in accessing professional courses: Students from richer households are far more likely to pursue engineering and medicine, as the cost of these degrees often exceeds the annual per capita expenditure of poorer households. Difficult education-to-employment transition: Graduate unemployment among the 15- to 29-year-olds remains high – nearly 40% among the 15- to 25-year-olds, and 20% among the 25- to 29-year-olds; and, only a small share secure stable salaried jobs within a year of graduation. Strong graduate wage premium: Graduates earn roughly twice as much as non-graduates at entry, and the earnings gap widens over their careers. Stagnating male graduate earnings: Entry-level salaries for young male graduates have slowed in growth since 2011, while gender gaps in graduate earnings have narrowed. Shift away from agriculture: Young workers are leaving agriculture faster than older cohorts and moving into manufacturing and services. Young women are increasingly employed in IT, automobile manufacturing, and business services. Declining caste and gender occupational segregation: Younger cohorts are less concentrated in occupations traditionally linked to their caste or gender. Migration as a labour market response: Youth migration helps balance regional disparities - poorer states and those with a younger population remain major labour sources, while richer states with a predominantly older population rely increasingly on migrant youth.
