Both India's men’s and women’s teams will travel to Australia at different times this year and next year, as Cricket Australia (CA) announced the home schedule for 2025-26 for the Australia teams.
India will tour Australia later this year for an eight-game, eight-city white-ball tour, and top-tier cricket is returning to the country. The 2025- 26 season will be the first to feature men's internationals in all eight Australian states and territories, with India scheduled to play in Canberra and Hobart.
That will happen after the 2023 World Cup finalists compete in 50-over matches in Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney. The Gold Coast's Carrara Stadium will then host T20 action alongside the MCG and the Gabba.
Perth, Adelaide, and Sydney will host the three ODIs on October 19, 23, and 25. The series will then move to five T20Is, which will be played on October 29, 3,1 and November 2,6, and 8. The venues will be Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Gold Coas, and Brisbane.
On the other hand, India women’s team will travel to Australia next year for an all-format tour including a day-night Test as well.
A Test at the renovated WACA Ground will kick off Australia's massive multi-format series against India next summer. According to the CA calendar, Australia's women will play strong rival India in three T20Is, three ODIs, and a Test at some of the country's largest stadiums.
The inaugural T20I will be played on Sunday, February 15, at the Sydney Cricket Ground, followed by matches at the Manuka Oval and the Adelaide Oval on Feb 19 and 21 respectively.
The three One-Day Internationals will be played on February 24, 27, and March 1 in Brisbane's Allan Border Field, Hobart's Bellerive Oval, and Melbourne's CitiPower Centre before the highlight event, a one-off Test at the newly refurbished WACA Ground on March 6-9.
The WACA Ground is currently being redeveloped into a 10,000-capacity boutique arena, which is due to be completed later this year.
