The Australian cricket team toured India in September 2022 to play three Twenty20 International (T20I) matches as a preparatory series before 2022 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, after which they have returned in February and March 2023 to play four Test and three One Day International (ODI) matches. In August 2022, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) confirmed the schedule for the T20Is. In 8 December 2022, the BCCI confirmed the schedule for the Tests and the ODIs. The Test matches will form part of the 2021–2023 ICC World Test Championship.
Australia won the first T20I by 4 wickets, to lead the series 1–0. The second T20I was reduced to 8 overs per side due to a wet outfield, with India winning the match by 6 wickets. India won the third and final T20I by 6 wickets to win the series 2–1.
On 13 February 2023, BCCI confirmed the venue of third test was shifted from Dharamshala to Indore.
