This series will be the final preparation for both teams before the year’s most significant cricket event. It will be India’s home series, commencing on September 22nd.

Meanwhile, Australia is engaged in a multi-format series against South Africa. The Asia Cup will conclude on September 17th with the finals, coinciding with the end of Australia’s tour of South Africa, which includes the fifth and final ODI.

This series will comprise three ODIs and five Twenty20 matches, with all three One-Day Internationals scheduled before the 2023 ODI World Cup.
