Five-time world champions Australia are set to play a three-match ODI series in India before the ICC World Cup gets underway, the BCCI announced on Tuesday.
While Australia will tour for three ODIs and five T20Is that take place on either side of the World Cup, England are set to travel to India in the months of January, February and March for a five-Test series.
With the World Cup set to be hosted entirely by India for the first time in its history, the three ODI series could be crucial for the Aussies in getting valuable practice against the Men in Blue and acclimatising themselves to the Indian conditions before the arrival of other teams.
