India will host Australia in a high-profile five-Test series starting January next year to end the 2026/27 home season, the country’s cricket board announced yesterday.
“The season will culminate with the prestigious and much-anticipated Border-Gavaskar Trophy, featuring a five-match Test series against Australia, beginning on January 21, 2027, in Nagpur,” the Board of Control for Cricket in India said.
“The contest will then move to Chennai, Guwahati, Ranchi and Ahmedabad,” the board said.
India suffered a 2-0 Test whitewash against South Africa at home last year and are placed sixth in the World Test Championship table led by Australia.
India’s home season will begin with a white-ball series including three one-day matches and five T20 internationals against the West Indies starting September 27.
The cricketing powerhouse will host Sri Lanka in December 2026 for a white-ball series including three ODI and three T20I matches.
Zimbabwe will be in India for three 50-over matches in January.
