NEW DELHI: India will play five home Tests as part of its World Test Championship calendar before the big five-match series Down Under against Australia as the BCCI on Thursday announced its senior men's team's itinerary from September 19 to February 12. India will be playing 2 Tests against Bangladesh at Chennai and Kanpur and will then host New Zealand for a three-match series in Bengaluru, Pune and Mumbai.

Apart from these five Tests, India will also play 8 T20Is and three ODIs at home. Against Bangladesh, they will play three T20Is while against England there will be a full-fledged series of five T20Is and three ODIs between January 22 to February 12.

In fact, the last ODI against England would conclude 'India Cricket' (home season) as the team will then leave for Champions Trophy which is expected to be played in Hybrid Model as the Rohit Sharma-led squad is unlikely to travel to Pakistan.

India's home international season starts on September 19 in Chennai and the second Test in Kanpur starts on September 27.

The three T20Is will be played in Dharamsala (Oct 6), Delhi (October 9) and Hyderabad (October 12).
