In the 2022–23 home calendar released by the Board of Control for Cricket in India, the men's side of India will host Sri Lanka, New Zealand, and Australia in series featuring all formats, including the four-match Test series for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BCCI).

India men's 2022/23 international home season comprising nine ODIs, six T20Is and four Tests will commence with a three-match T20I series against Sri Lanka in January. The games will take place in Mumbai, Pune, and Rajkot on January 3, 5, and 7, respectively.

After that, three one-day international matches (ODIs) between the two teams will be held at Guwahati, Kolkata, and Thiruvananthapuram on January 10, 12, and 15, respectively. The last time Sri Lanka visited was in February–March 2022, during which time they lost T20I and Test series.

The action will then switch to a three-match ODI series against New Zealand, with matches taking place in Hyderabad, Raipur, and Indore on January 18, 21, and 24. The second One-Day International between India and New Zealand on January 21 will be a landmark ODI for Raipur as they host their first international match.

In addition, India will compete in a three-game T20I series against New Zealand, which will visit India in November and December 2021. Matches between the two teams will be played on January 27, 29 and February 1 at Ranchi, Lucknow, and Ahmedabad respectively.

The Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will take place in Nagpur from February 9–13, will also begin in February. India and Australia will play their next three Test matches at Delhi (February 17–21), Dharamsala (March 1–5), and Ahmedabad (March 9-13). After five years, a Test match will be played in Delhi.

The series will also be the last edition of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy being a four-match Test series feature, with the Future Tours Programme (FTP) saying that the series will become a five-match fixture. India men's home season will then conclude with a three-match ODI series to be held in Mumbai (March 17), Visakhapatnam (March 19) and Chennai (March 22).
