MELBOURNE : Perth will host the opener of the blockbuster five-test Australia-India series in November, which will conclude with the traditional New Year's test in Sydney, Cricket Australia said on Tuesday.

The teams' first five-test series in over 30 years will kick off on Nov. 22 at Perth Stadium, where Virat Kohli's India were well beaten in their only previous visit to the stadium in 2018.

The second match of the series will be a day-night test in Adelaide from Dec. 6, with Brisbane to host the third at the Gabba from Dec. 14 and Melbourne to stage the fourth match in the traditional 'Boxing Day' slot from Dec. 26.

Australia, who thrashed India in last year's 50-overs World Cup final, have not beaten the South Asians in a home test series since 2014-15, losing both the 2018-19 and 2020-21 contests.

Cricket Australia also published its schedule for the Women's Ashes between Australia and England, which starts on Jan. 12 with an ODI in Sydney.

The Ashes wraps up with a one-off, day-night test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground from Jan. 30, the first pink ball international at the stadium.

The 2023–24 series will be the first since 1991–92 to feature five Test matches between the two teams. India have been dominant in Australia in recent years, winning back-to-back Test series on Australian soil – 2018–19 and 2020–21 (both by similar margins of 2-1). Add to that India’s victories over Australia at home, and that’s four straight Test series that India have won against Australia.

6–10 December: Adelaide Oval, Adelaide (D/N)

14-18 December: The Gabba, Brisbane

Earlier, BCCI secretary Jay Shah had confirmed that this year’s series would be played across five Tests, adding that the step is in line with the board’s commitment to preserving the future of Test cricket.

“The BCCI remains steadfast in its dedication to preserving the rich heritage of Test Cricket, a format we hold in the highest esteem,” Shah said.

“Our ongoing collaboration with Cricket Australia in extending the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to five Tests underscores our collective commitment to nurturing and elevating Test cricket’s significance,” he added.

Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird said the extension reflects the shared vision of the two boards.

“This extension echoes our shared vision to amplify the essence of Test cricket and uphold its legacy. As India and Australia, come together, we anticipate an enthralling spectacle that will captivate fans worldwide with its intensity and excitement,” Baird said.

India Tour Of Australia 2024-25: Venues Announced For The Upcoming Series

India will tour Australia for a 5-match Test series in November- January. These five matches would be part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25. It promises to be a mouthwatering series between the two best teams.

Indian team won their previous two test series on Australian soil. Under the captaincy of Virat Kohli, India registered first ever victory in the last 72 years by 2-1. They then displayed great courage and won a memorable 2-1 series win during 2020-21.

After India was bundled out for 36 runs in the second innings of the first Test at Adelaide Oval, they made a strong comeback to level the series at Melbourne thanks to brilliant performances by Rahane, Siraj, and Co. R Ashwin and Hanuma Vihari showed great fighting spirit to draw the 3 rd test match at Sydney.

The fourth and final Test match saw India missing the likes of Jasprit Bumrah, Ravindra Jadeja, R Ashwin, and Umesh Yadav due to injuries. They had Shubman Gill, Pant. Washington Sundar and Natarajan made their debuts in the final test match. India chased down the highest-ever score of 328 in the fourth innings to seal the series at 2-1.

Australia would look to take revenge for the previous two test series losses. Both teams will meet for the first time after the 2023 ICC World Test Championship finals played at Oval, London last year.

India is currently the holder of the Border Gavaskar series. They won the test series at home last year by 2-1. The schedule of this series has not been announced yet, but the venues for the marquee five-match bumper India tour of Australia season will take place.

Australia will start the Test series at Optus Stadium, Perth, they have an impressive record at this venue. According to WA Today, Adelaide Oval would host the second test match which would be a day-night fixture.

The third test match will be played in Brisbane. Australia lost their first encounter at Brisbane in 2021 before West Indies stunned the host in 2024. Australia will host India for the fourth test match to be played at MCG from 26 th December known as Boxing Day. After this, the final test match would be played at SCG to finish the series.

India tour of Australia, 2020-21

Australia-India five-Test blockbuster to start in Perth in late November

P erth Stadium has dethroned the Gabba as Australia's preferred first Test venue with the five-match Border-Gavaskar Trophy to begin in Perth on November 22 this year before the series moves to Adelaide for the day-night Test, Brisbane, Melbourne for Boxing Day and Sydney for the New Year's Test.

Cricket Australia unveiled their international schedule for next summer with the Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the summer's showpiece event. After Perth, the second Test will be a day-night pink-ball encounter played at Adelaide Oval from December 6-10. The third Test will be in Brisbane from December 14-18. The fourth Test will be at the MCG in the traditional Boxing Day slot on December 26 and the fifth Test will be at the SCG starting January 3.

Australia has an unblemished record at Perth's newest venue having won four out of four Tests there including the first one against India in December 2018 , although India went on to claim the series. Perth did not host a Test between Australia and India in the 2020-21 series, which India also won when the final Test was held in Brisbane.

Peter Roach, CA's head of scheduling, said the decision to award Perth the first Test over Brisbane was due to a range of factors with the friendly broadcast timezone for both Australian east coast audiences and India viewers being the final tipping point.

"The clear advice from our national team is that there is a preference to start series strongly at venues where they're really comfortable and Perth and Brisbane they believe are somewhat comparable in terms of the advantage they get out of that," Roach said. "They're the hardest and bounciest pitches in Australia. They also believe that playing day-night Tests in Adelaide is a significant advantage and the stats there are pretty conclusive too.

"So they will look at this schedule and some will say Gabba first would have been better than Perth. Others will say Perth then Gabba. I think that gap has really closed in recent times and the way our players think about that, and having Adelaide as the day-night Test, they'll be really buoyed about that again. So we're really comfortable that this gives us a great opportunity to compete with a really strong Indian team."

Outgoing WA Cricket CEO Christina Matthews is hopeful of a big crowd in Perth after disappointing attendances in recent years, although her preference was to host the pre-Christmas Test.

"I would be looking at crowds of 30-35,000 on day one [for India]," Matthews told ESPNcricinfo as part of an interview to be published later this week. "Getting a space in the calendar is really important. Our preference is the last Test before Christmas. But if it's the first Test, as we've had [the past two years], if we know that's when it's going to be then it makes it easier for everybody to plan. If we can know if it's the first Test of every summer or the third Test every summer, that's the important thing."

While Australia hope to maximise their advantage by starting with Perth and Adelaide, a nine-day gap has been scheduled between the first two Tests. It is understood the BCCI are keen to use that period for India's players to get some specific pink-ball practice and options are being explored as to whether some form of match practice will be scheduled. A Prime Minister's XI match in Canberra is on the cards but whether it is before or after the first Test remains to be seen.

BBL window, but availability issues to remain

The decision to start with Perth and then the day-night Test also means there is a clear window for the BBL to begin after December 10, as those matches are played at night while the Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney Tests are played during the day. CA had to halt the BBL for five days early in the season last summer while the Perth Test between Australia and Pakistan was played in late December. Then the Adelaide Test against West Indies was a day game in mid-January before the day-night Test was held in Brisbane after the BBL had been completed.

The BBL will likely start during the three-day break between the Adelaide and Brisbane Tests and will run through until Australia Day on January 26, with Australia's Test players set to be available for a few weeks after the Sydney Test is completed on January 7.

However, Australia have a two-Test tour of Sri Lanka scheduled for late January and early February which could mean some players are withdrawn from the BBL finals as there is a preference for a seven to 10-day build-up for that series to acclimatise to conditions. The dates for the Sri Lanka tour are yet to be announced. Australia's ODI players will likely head straight to the Champions Trophy after the Sri Lanka tour, with the tournament likely to start on February 19.

Pakistan return for white-ball cricket

Australia will host Pakistan in three ODIs and three T20Is in early November before the Border-Gavaskar Trophy begins. The ODIs will be part of both teams' preparation for the Champions Trophy and is likely to be Australia's last official ODI series before that tournament begins in Pakistan.

The ODI series will start at the MCG on Monday, November 4, the night before the Melbourne Cup public holiday in Victoria. The series will then move to Adelaide on November 8 and finish in Perth on November 10.

The T20I series will run close to the Test series against India and will likely mean that none of Australia's Test players will feature. There is set to be significant turnover in Australia's T20I side by the time the November series starts following the T20 World Cup in June and Australia will likely use the series to develop younger T20I specialists for future World Cups.

The final match of the series takes place in Hobart on November 18 with the first Test against India starting in Perth just four days later.

There is no men's international match in Canberra next summer although there will be a women's T20I during the multiformat Ashes in the lead-up to a historic day-night four-day Test at the MCG between Australia and England starting on January 30, which will celebrate the 90-year anniversary of women's Test cricket.
