Australia will start its tour of India with the first T20I scheduled at the Dr YS Rajasekhara Reddy stadium in Visakhapatnam on February 24.
During India's tour of Australia, the Men-in-Blue finished the T20I series 1-1 and clinched the ODI series 2-1. The touring Aussies would be aiming to reverse the results this time around.
After being humiliated by India in the one-day series, the Aussies blanked the Sri Lankans 2-0 in Tests. The series win offered some much-needed relief for the Australian side which had witnessed a lot of turmoil on and off the field in the past one year.
We are really looking forward for the next 12 months of cricket," Australia's Test captain Tim Paine had said at the conclusion of the Sri Lanka series. The rejuvenated side would be expected to put up a tough fight against India. The white-ball series is the first of three Australia will play away from home to find some form and fine tune selections for the ICC Cricket World Cup which begins in late May.
As Australia were mauling Sri Lanka, India embarrassed New Zealand in the ODI series but lost the T20I leg of the tour. India would want to overturn its fortune in the T20Is. The upcoming series is India's final dress rehearsal before the all important World Cup. India too have a few spots to finalize.
Last time India and Australia played a T20I series in India it ended in a 1-1 draw with one match being washed out.
Team News
Ahead of the series, the Indian team was dealt a major blow with all-rounder Hardik Pandya being ruled out of both the T20Is and ODIs. The BCCI confirmed that Pandya will sit out of the series due to lower back stiffness. Ravindra Jadeja has been named as Pandya’s replacement in the squad. The series though will see star players Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah back in action. Also back in India's 15-member squad will be Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul. Chinaman spinner Kuldeep Yadav has been given much needed rest and filling his boots will be young spinner Mayank Markande.
