Australia's men's Test team will keep faith with their approach of not having a tour match ahead of their five-Test series against India next year.

In 2023, Australia went straight into a four-Test series, losing the first match by an innings and 132 runs in Nagpur on the way to a 2-1 series loss.

Australia will begin their five-Test series against India with the first match in Nagpur starting January 21, 2027.
