India to tour Australia for a T20I and ODI series in October 2025.
Cricket Australia announced its schedule for the home series in 2025-26 on Sunday, with the Indian men’s cricket team set to play a multi-format limited over series Down Under.
The Indian men’s team will play a three-match ODI series, starting on October 19 in Perth. The T20I series, on the other hand, will begin on October 29. All the ODIs will be day-night fixtures, while the T20Is will be night matches. The matches will be played across all eight Australian states and territories, meaning Canberra and Hobart will host some of India’s T20 matches.
India will return to Australia after a five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024-25, where the visitors lost 1-3.
With the T20 World Cup set to take place in India and Sri Lanka in February-March 2026, Australia has planned multiple T20I series as part of their preparation. They will also play a T20I series in New Zealand in October and another against Pakistan in February 2026.
