The schedule is spread across international cricket, the Asian Games, Australia A tours, the Irani Cup and age-group cricket. India are simultaneously handling overlapping assignments, while the New Zealand T20Is begin on October 22 and India Women are scheduled to face Zimbabwe from October 16 to 28. Those two pending senior-team selections alone could push the final player count higher.

India vs Afghanistan T20I Squad
India's three-match Afghanistan T20I series is being played in Delhi on September 13, 15 and 17.

The Rest of India side will face Ranji Trophy champions Jammu & Kashmir in the Irani Cup from October 1 to 5. Rishabh Pant has been named captain, with Sarfaraz Khan as vice-captain.
The match will be played against Jammu & Kashmir, the 2025-26 Ranji Trophy champions.
There are currently 13 squad lists relevant to the announced September-October assignments. Most contain 15 players, while the updated Japan/Asian Games squad and Afghanistan squad have 14 players after recent changes.
After removing every duplicate name, the current announced squad pool comes to 133 unique players.
October Could Push the Number Even Higher: Upcoming India Squads Yet to Be Announced
The 133-player figure is not a final count for the entire two-month period. India's five-match T20I series against New Zealand begins on October 22 in Christchurch. The next three matches are on October 24, October 27 and October 30, while the final game is scheduled for November 1. Therefore, four New Zealand T20Is fall inside the October window.
The current player count therefore represents only the squads announced so far. Once the New Zealand and Zimbabwe squads are released, new names could be added to the 133-player pool.
