Australia will host New Zealand for three women's ODIs and three T20Is starting 27 September, with India set to travel Down Under for ODIs in January.
Cricket Australia on Thursday, 28 May, announced the schedule for the summer, marking the first steps in resumption of the sport in the country since the COVID-19 pandemic.
While acknowledging that another spike in cases could force these schedules to be changed again, Kevin Roberts, CA CEO, assured stakeholders that they would "act in accordance with public health advice and government protocols to ensure the safety of the public, players and support staff".
“While acknowledging the difficulty in navigating a global pandemic, we are nonetheless encouraged by the progress Australia is making in combatting the coronavirus and the positive impact that is having on our ability to host an exciting summer of cricket in 2020-21," he said.
India set to play their first away day/night Test as Australia announce dates for the Border-Gavaskar series, and the inaugural Test against Afghanistan.
