Team India will tour Australia later this year to play five Tests Down Under. This will be the first time since the 1991-92 season that the two heavyweights will meet over 5 Tests in a tour.
India won back-to-back Test series in Australia, including their last trip Down Under in 2020-21. The Indian team, led by Virat Kohli back then, played three ODIs, as many T20Is, and two three-day practice matches before the Test series.
However, the preparation will be a bit different in the lead up to the five-match series. According to a report in Cricbuzz, India's only warm-up game in Australia will be an internal contest.
The senior men's team will take on the touring India 'A' side, also comprising of some Test regulars. The India 'A' team will arrive in Australia few weeks earlier than the Rohit Sharma-led senior side.
