BCCI announces India's action-packed schedule, Aus Tests to start on Feb 09
On Thursday (December 08), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced India's action-packed home schedule in early 2023. After India's ongoing tour of Bangladesh, the Rohit Sharma-led side will host Sri Lanka and New Zealand in white-ball series before Australia comes to India for a four-match Test series, i.e. the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, followed by a three-match ODI series prior to IPL 2023. Sri Lanka will be the first tourists in the next year, followed by the Kiwis with the much-awaited India-Australia rivalry resuming after that.

Thus, there is plenty of cricket for the senior men's cricket team in the first quarter of 2023. They will prepare for the 2023 ODI World Cup, to be held in India later next year, with the six ODIs versus Sri Lanka and New Zealand and also play few T20Is. Against Australia, they will aim to beat the Pat Cummins-led Aussies in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which will be the last edition comprising four matches, before hosting them in three ODIs prior to the next edition of the IPL.
Rohit Sharma-Rahul Dravid-led India are battling with several injury concerns at present. Hence, they have lots on their table as the team gears up for the ODI WC next year. India's run in 2022 hasn't been good, with Asia Cup debacle, T20 World Cup semi-final exit, one-off Test loss versus hosts England, miserable South Africa tour and now an ODI series loss versus Bangladesh in their own backyard. Hence, they will hope for a memorable start to 2023 with some big series in the pipeline.
