India vs Australia schedule: Complete list of fixtures, dates and venues of matches of limited-overs tour

After defeating Sri Lanka comfortably in a two-Test series at home, Australia fly to India for a limited-overs tour starting 24 February, less than two months after the two teams squared off on the other side of the planet. The series will be the final limited-overs assignments for both teams before the World Cup kicks off later this summer in England, giving the team think-tanks an opportunity to fine-tune their team combinations and strategies before the mega event.

AFP[/caption] India earlier announced their squads for both the T20I and ODI series, with Virat Kohli returning as the captain in the blue jersey. Jasprit Bumrah and KL Rahul — who makes his comeback into the side for the first time since the Koffee With Karan controversy — are the other players returning to the team. The selectors decided to rest hard-hitting middle-order batsman Dinesh Karthik and recalled Rishabh Pant. Aaron Finch will lead the Australian team that is without the services of Mitchell Starc, who was ruled out due to a “substantial muscle tear”, as well as Josh Hazlewood, who is yet to recover from a back issue. The defending world champions have instead opted to go with pacers Nathan Coulter-Nile and Kane Richardson and batsman Ashton Turner. Following is the full schedule of Australia’s tour of India, that comprises two T20Is and five ODIs: 1st T20I: 24 February at Visakhapatnam (7 pm IST) 2nd T20I: 27 February at Bengaluru (7 pm IST) 1st ODI: 2 March at Hyderabad (1.30 pm IST) 2nd ODI: 5 March at Nagpur (1.30 pm IST) 3rd ODI: 8 March at Ranchi (1.30 pm IST) 4th ODI: 10 March at Mohali (1.30 pm IST) 5th ODI: 13 March at Delhi (1.30 pm IST)
