Australia return to international cricket after five months as they take on England in a three-match T20 series, starting Friday (September 4).
The two teams last faced each other in T20Is in a one-off game in June 2018, which England won by 28 runs.
The T20s should have served as preparation for October’s T20 World Cup in Australia but the COVID-19 outbreak pushed the tournament to 2021.
Both teams will be looking to fine-tune their line-ups but equally they may want to give their strongest XIs as much as time as they can in the middle.
1st T20 – Friday (September 4), 10:30 PM IST
2nd T20 – Sunday (September 6), 6:45 PM IST
3rd T20 – Tuesday (September 8), 10:30 PM IST

Aaron Finch (Australia captain): “Having got to No.1 in the world in T20 cricket we want to stay there and keep improving on our game. We feel our game plan has been really solid for quite a while and we’re really comfortable how that looks for various conditions and opponents.”
Mark Wood (England pacer): “It’s always good when you play for England, don’t get us wrong, but it is an extra incentive when you play Australia, when you play the biggest rivals. They are desperate to beat you, you’re desperate to beat them. And it doesn’t matter if it’s the Ashes, white-ball, T20. Doesn’t matter what it is, we’ll be desperate to beat them.”
