India vs Australia 2024-25 Test Series: Full Schedule, Squads, Live Streaming & Telecast Details

The India tour of Australia 2024-25, also known as the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, begins on November 22.

Jasprit Bumrah's India will face Pat Cummins' Australia at Optus Stadium. The first Test will be followed by a Day/Night Test, or Pink Ball Test, at Adelaide Oval after a nine-day break.

The tour will end with the New Year Test at Sydney Cricket Ground on January 7, 2025.

India is aiming for their third straight Test series win in Australia, but their preparations have been affected.

Captain Rohit Sharma will miss the first Test for the birth of his second child, and Shubman Gill injured himself in a warm-up match.

These absences will result in changes to India’s playing XI, with Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and possibly Harshit Rana or Prasidh Krishna expected to play.

India must win at least four of the five Tests to qualify for the ICC World Test Championship final. However, winning in Australia’s tough conditions will be a challenge.

Australia's top order lacks experience, so they will depend on experienced middle-order players like Steven Smith, Travis Head, and Marnus Labuschagne.

Their pace bowlers, Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood, will look to capitalize on India's low confidence and take control from the start.
