Australia announced its international calendar for the 2026-27 season, revealing a highly demanding schedule for the Australia national cricket team. The itinerary includes 10 Tests within a 14-week period from December to March, making it one of the most strenuous in the team's history. Key series include a five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy tour of India national cricket team, home series against Bangladesh national cricket team, South Africa — National Party, and a 150th anniversary Test against England cricket team. To manage player workloads, Australia decided to hold back key fast bowlers like Mitchell Starc, Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood from the initial rounds of the Indian Premier League. The schedule also includes tours to South Africa national cricket team and potentially the BWF World Championships final and an Ashes series in the United Kingdom.
