Eight India vs Australia white-ball matches have been confirmed for 2023 by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). The IND vs AUS series before the ICC ODI World Cup 2023 will also kick-start the tenure of the next BCCI Media rights deal.
Jay Shah confirmed in the latest Apex Council meeting of the Board that the BCCI media rights process would be finished by the end of August.
There will be eight white-ball matches against Australia to begin the agreement. Three One Day Internationals will be played in September as part of the World Cup 2023 preparations.
Five T20I matches will take place in December, shortly following the ODI World Cup. This T20 series will formally start Team India’s preparations for ICC T20 World Cup 2024.
