Australia women’s cricket team will host Bangladesh for ODI and T20I series from October 9 to October 22. The BCCI hasn’t revealed the schedule for the home series against Australia. It promises to be a blockbuster as it will be the final chance for the likes of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Steve Smith, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon to win a Test series on Indian soil. Australia notably haven’t won in India since the 2004-05 leg. However, they currently hold the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, regaining it at home in the 2024-25 series.
The Baggy Greens will also tour England in mid-2027 for the five-Test Ashes series and could also play the World Test Championship (WTC) final before that.
