The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has confirmed the venues for the Indian cricket team's home season 2023-24. The upcoming season will see India play a total of 16 international matches, including 5 Tests, 3 ODIs, and 8 T20Is.
The home season will kick off with a three-match ODI series against Australia in Mohali, Indore, and Rajkot. This will be followed by a five-match T20I series against the same opponents, with the first match in Vizag and the last in Hyderabad.
In January 2024, Afghanistan will tour India for its first-ever white-ball bilateral series. The three-match T20I series will be played in Mohali and Indore, with the final in Bengaluru.

The team has not won a major ICC tournament since the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. However, there is a lot of young talent in the team, and the BCCI is hoping that the home season will give these players a chance to showcase their skills.
The home season is also expected to be a major test for the new Indian coach, Rahul Dravid. Dravid was appointed as the head coach of the Indian team in November 2022. He has a lot of experience in the game, and he is expected to help the Indian team regain its lost glory.
