What is Indian Cricket Team's practice session schedule for the ODI series against Australia?

India will play three ODIs and five T20Is on their tour to Australia.

The Indian Cricket Team has reached Australia for their white-ball assignment. The two teams will be locking horns with each other in the three-match ODI and the five-match T20I series with the opening ODI set to be played on 19th October. 

All the focus will be on the ODIs as it will mark the return of Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli, who have retired from T20Is and test cricket, in the national colours. The duo last played for India in ICC Champions Trophy 2025 final against New Zealand in March.

Also, there have been a lot of speculations about their future with many reports claiming that the ODI series against Australia could be their last. This makes the upcoming series extremely important for the duo. Both have prepared hard for the series and would be eager to perform.
