The dates and venues of the Indian men’s cricket team’s 2023-24 home season were announced by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday, 25 July. In a period of six months – from September 2023 to March 2024 – India will be playing 16 international matches on their home soil, comprising 5 Tests, 3 ODIs and 8 T20Is.
The season will commence with a three-match ODI series against Australia, which will be held from 22 to 27 September, following the conclusion of the 2023 Asia Cup. Rohit Sharma’s team will face the five-time ODI World Cup winners in Mohali, Indore and Rajkot.
After a break from bilateral tours, owing to the 2023 ICC Men’s ODI World Cup, the season will resume with a five-match T20I series against the Aussies, set to be held from 23 November to 3 December. Those matches will be played in Visakhapatnam, Thiruvananthapuram, Guwahati, Nagpur and Hyderabad.
India’s home campaign for 2024 will start with a three-match T20I series against Afghanistan, which was initially expected to be held in 2023. The matches will be played in Mohali, Indore and Bengaluru on 11, 14 and 17 January respectively.
