India to tour Australia to play five Tests later this year, schedule announced

Perth will host the opening Test match of the series on November 22.

The other four matches will be played in Adelaide (day-night), Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney.

The series will give Australia and India a chance to cement its position further in the World Test Championship final.

Australia defeated India to win the last edition of the World Test Championship.

India, however, have been keeping the iconic Border-Gavaskar Trophy in its name since 2017 by winning both home and away series.
