Australia A Tour Of India 2025: Schedule, Squads, Venues & More

The Australia A Tour of India 2025 is going to set up a great contest between two strong teams featuring some of the best emerging players from both nations. Often considered as the ideal vehicle to bring together the best youngsters from a nation to trial at a higher level and potentially put themselves in the minds of selectors for senior teams, "A" tours have produced the next international stars time and time again.

This should be similar, with India A and Australia A selecting their squads with opportunity and players presenting themselves as competitive young cricketers. The first leg of the tour commences in Lucknow with two four-day unofficial Test Matches commencing September 16th and September 23.

The matches should be a good test of players' technique and temperament playing red-ball cricket, and provide selectors with a better understanding of who may be able to move into the main Test squads.

From the four-day structures, the focus then moves to Kanpur and three unofficial ODIs on September 30, October 3, and October 5 respectively. The limited-over matches will provide adaptability, but more importantly provide the youngsters with an opportunity to exhibit their white-ball cricketing skills in front of selectors and fans. The senior teams of India and Australia are among the best cricket teams in the world and this series is expected to be a competitive, skillful, and high-pressure series.
