The Australian cricket team’s 2024 schedule is shaping up to be an interesting one as both the men’s and women’s sides look to build on an incredible 2023 season.
The Australian men’s cricket team won the ODI World Cup last year, beating hosts India in the final. They also won the ICC World Test Championship Final against India and defeated England in The Ashes. The Australian women’s team, meanwhile, defeated the West Indies, South Africa and India in limited overs cricket last year.
Both the men’s and women’s teams will take part in multiple bilateral series across all three formats, both home and away, this year.
However, the T20 World Cup 2024 will be the top priority for Australia’s men’s and women’s cricket teams.
Australia will be looking to win their second ICC Men’s T20 World Cup trophy this June after winning the 2021 edition in UAE. The women’s WT20 is scheduled in Bangladesh around September-October.
The Baggy Greens began the year with assignments against West Indies at home and New Zealand away.
Following the conclusion of the T20 World Cup in June, the Aussies will turn their sights towards England once again. The men’s team will be touring England for a three-match T20I series and a five-match ODI series in September.
November will see Pakistan visiting Australia for three ODIs and three T20Is.
The Border Gavaskar Trophy against India at home will begin on November 22. The second Test, to be held at Adelaide, will be a day-night affair. The Australian men’s cricket team will end the year with the Boxing Day Test against India in Melbourne.
Meanwhile, the Australian women’s cricket team got 2024 underway with a long series against India away before hosting South Africa at home.
Australia women then travelled to Bangladesh for three ODIs and as many T20Is and have looked in fine form in the lead up to the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup.
Australia are also set to take on New Zealand Women in a three-match T20I series in September. They will end the year playing hosts to India for three ODis.
Here’s a look at the schedule of the Australian cricket team in 2024.
