Australian Cricketers Association: Todd Greenberg, the Cricket Australia (CA) CEO, said he hopes to give a memorable send-off to Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli should the duo play in Australia one last time later this year. With Rohit and Kohli retiring from Tests and T20Is in the last 12 months, it means they will now be playing only ODIs for India.

India are slated to tour Australia for three ODIs in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney from October 19-25 and is followed by five T20Is happening from October 29 to November 8. In an Australian home summer headlined by the five-match Ashes, the Indian interest looms large with the women’s team also slated to tour the country for a multi-format series after WPL 2026 is over.

“It's a massive summer of cricket highlighted by both the Indian women's and men's teams. Also the Ashes is here, and for the first time in nearly two decades, Australian cricket will be playing international matches in every single capital city and territory across the entire country, which is amazing when you think about the logistical exercise that goes with that.”
