The series will be followed by New Zealand's white-ball tour of India before Australia arrives for four Tests and three ODIs in the run-up to the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 edition in India.

Hardik Pandya is set to lead the T20I side with big guns such as Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul absent whereas Suryakumar Yadav has been appointed as the vice-captain. Regular captain Rohit will return for the ODIs, after a thumb injury he suffered in the Bangladesh tour, and will have Hardik as his new deputy despite Rahul's presence. Bhuvneshwar Kumar is missing from both squads whereas Shikhar Dhawan has been dropped from ODIs. Rishabh Pant is also not part of the series, reportedly due to fitness concerns.
