India Men & Women Teams to Tour Australia in Bumper 2025/26 Season
The Australian summer of 2025/26 is shaping up to be a thrilling one, with a plethora of international cricket matches scheduled to take place. In a major development, Cricket Australia has announced that the Indian men’s and women’s teams will tour the country across the 2025/26 season. This will be a bumper season for Australian cricket fans, with a host of exciting matches lined up against a strong Indian team.
First up, the Australian men’s team will face off against South Africa in a trio of T20 Internationals (T20Is) and three One-Day Internationals (ODIs) in August. This will be followed by a mouth-watering clash against India, with three ODIs and five T20Is scheduled to take place across October and November. The highlight of the men’s itinerary, however, will be the Ashes series against England, which will get underway in November and conclude in January 2026.
Meanwhile, the Australian women’s team will host India for a series of matches across February and March 2026. The Women’s Ashes may have been a distant memory for now, but the Indian women’s team will provide a stern test for the Australian squad. The tour will feature three T20Is, three ODIs, and a Test match, giving fans a chance to catch the action in all formats.
The Australian men’s team has been in top form recently, with a 4-1 victory over Pakistan in the recent T20I series. The team’s performance will be crucial in the lead-up to the Ashes, and fans will be eager to see how they fare against a strong Indian team. The Indian men’s team, on the other hand, has been going through a transition phase, with new players like Shubman Gill and Ruturaj Gaikwad making their mark in international cricket.
For the Australian women’s team, this tour presents an opportunity to bounce back from a disappointing performance in the recent ICC Women’s World Cup. The team struggled to find consistency, and a strong showing against India will be crucial in rebuilding their confidence. The Indian women’s team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, has been a force to be reckoned with in recent years, and this series promises to be an exciting clash of styles.
The 2025/26 season is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated in recent memory, with a host of thrilling matches lined up against some of the best teams in the world. Cricket fans in Australia will be eager to catch the action live, and the tour promises to be a fantastic spectacle.
