MUMBAI (Reuters): India and Australia will clash in five-test series twice during the next four-year calendar, which will feature more international matches across the game’s three formats.

The Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia will feature a test more and will be contested over five matches, according to the Future Tours Programme (FTP) for 2023-27 released by the International Cricket Council yesterday.

Rohit Sharma’s men are scheduled to tour Down Under at the end of 2024 while Australia will play their away series in India at the start of 2027, the FTP showed.

“The increase to a reciprocal five test Border-Gavaskar series is a significant milestone and will greatly enhance the enduring rivalry and respect that exists between the Australian and Indian men’s teams,” said Peter Roach, Cricket Australia’s head of cricket operations and scheduling.

India, who finished runner-up behind New Zealand in the inaugural World Test Championship (WTC), will also host England for a five-test series at the start of 2024 before travelling to meet Ben Stokes’ side the following year for five tests.
