Overview of the 2024 Tour
The Indian women’s cricket team is gearing up for an intense all-format tour in Australia, kicking off early next year. The series promises high-octane matches across various celebrated cricket grounds from February 15 to March 9, 2024.
Exciting Match Schedule
The action starts with the first T20I in Sydney on February 15. This match sets the pace for subsequent games across major cities including Canberra and Adelaide. Following the T20Is, the teams will clash in One-Day Internationals, beginning February 24 at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, with further matches in Hobart and Melbourne.
Culminating with a Historic Test
The highlight of the tour will be a one-off Test match at the newly-renovated WACA Ground in Perth, scheduled from March 6-9. This redevelopment will transform the WACA into a state-of-the-art boutique venue with a 10,000-seat capacity, ideal for hosting significant cricketing events.
