The Border-Gavaskar Trophy between India and Australia is set to kick off on November 22. Here is the full list of fixtures for the series.
India and Australia last met in Test cricket during the 2023 World Test Championship final, which Australia won. Their last bilateral Test series was the 2023 Border-Gavaskar Trophy earlier that year, which India won 2-1 on home turf.
India have won the series on their last two tours to Australia, in 2020-21 and 2018-19. They have also won the last two series between the sides in India, in 2023 and 2017, meaning Australia have not defeated India in a Test series since 2014-15.

This series will be Australia's first in Test cricket for nearly ten months. They were last in action in New Zealand in March this year, winning that series 2-0. India, on the other hand, come into this series on the back of being whitewashed at home by that very opponent – their first home series loss in 12 years.
The first Test in Perth will also be India's first away from home for nearly a year. Their last one was in January this year, against South Africa in Cape Town. Since then, they have played five Tests against England, two against Bangladesh and three against New Zealand – all at home.
