India Men & Women Teams to Tour Australia in Bumper 2025/26 Season
The 2025/26 cricket season is shaping up to be a thrilling one for fans in Australia, with the country set to host a plethora of international matches featuring some of the world’s top teams. In this blog post, we’ll take a closer look at the upcoming tours of Australia, which will see the Indian men’s and women’s teams visit the country across various formats.
Men’s Team Tour
The Indian men’s team will be touring Australia in October and November 2025, where they will play three ODIs and five T20Is against the hosts. This will be a crucial series for both teams, with India looking to bounce back from a disappointing T20 World Cup campaign, while Australia will be seeking to build momentum ahead of the Ashes.
The ODI series will be a key one for both teams, with India looking to improve their ODI form after a poor show in the 50-over World Cup in India earlier this year. The T20Is, on the other hand, will provide a chance for India’s young and talented players to showcase their skills in the shortest format of the game.
The Australian team, led by Pat Cummins, will be looking to build on their recent successes, including a 4-1 win over Pakistan in the T20I series earlier this year. With a strong squad at their disposal, Australia will be favorites to win the series against India.
Women’s Team Tour
The Indian women’s team will also be touring Australia in February and March 2026, where they will play three T20Is, three ODIs, and a Test match against the hosts. This will be a historic tour for the Indian women’s team, which has been making rapid strides in recent years.
The T20Is will be a key part of the tour, with both teams looking to gain an upper hand in the shortest format of the game. The ODIs, on the other hand, will provide a chance for the teams to test their skills in the 50-over format, with India looking to improve their ODI form after a disappointing show in the 50-over World Cup in New Zealand earlier this year.
The Test match, which will be India’s first-ever Test match in Australia, will be a historic occasion for the team. With a strong squad at their disposal, India will be looking to make a mark in the five-day format, which has traditionally been a stronghold of the Australian women’s team.
Other International Matches
In addition to the India tour, Australia will also be hosting South Africa in the home summer of 2025/26. The men’s team will play three T20Is and three ODIs against the Proteas in August, while the women’s team will play three T20Is and three ODIs against them in February 2026.
The Ashes, one of the most highly anticipated bilateral series in international cricket, will also be played in the 2025/26 season. The men’s team will be taking on England in a five-match series, which will be played across November, December, and January.
