Australia’s upcoming home summer is scheduled to commence in December with a Test series against Pakistan, spanning three matches and forming a part of the next World Test Championship (WTC) cycle.

Following that, Australia are scheduled to hold a two-match Test series against West Indies, with one match at Adelaide Oval and the other at The Gabba, which will be the sole pink-ball Test for the summer. The men’s team’s home summer will conclude with a three-match ODI series and T20I series against West Indies.
As per the FTP, Australia will be travelling to New Zealand to participate in a tour comprising two Tests and three T20Is. The schedules for domestic cricket fixtures during the 2023-24 season are anticipated to be announced in the following weeks.
