After the Border Gavaskar Trophy lit up last summer, India’s superstars are returning to Australian shores for a blockbuster white-ball tour down under, beginning with the first ODI in Perth on Sunday 19 October.

Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma have both been named to take part in the three-match ODI series, despite having retired from Test and T20 international cricket, as India look towards the 2027 ODI World Cup under the captaincy of Shubman Gill.

A host of Australia’s world champions are set to feature in the 50-over format with Mitchell Marsh to captain a side including man of the match from the World Cup final two years ago Travis Head, and fast bowling duo Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.

From the likely XI for the first Ashes Test in Perth on November 21, Cameron Green and Alex Carey have also named in Australia’s ODI squad, although the gloveman will sit out the opening game in order to play in the Sheffield Shield for South Australia.

Australia are set to unleash a new-look line-up at Optus Stadium in the first ODI, with injury issues for Adam Zampa and Josh Inglis forcing selectors to add Josh Philippe and Matthew Kuhnemann into the squad.

After the three ODIs in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney, the two teams will lock horns for five T2oIs as they build towards next year’s T20 World Cup, starting in February in India and Sri Lanka.

Australia has named a squad for the opening two games, with management of the likes of Hazlewood and Head ahead of the Ashes set to come into effect later in the series.

Canberra, Melbourne, Hobart, Gold Coast and Brisbane will play host to the T2oIs.
