They had revealed that the Indian team will be hosting Australia, New Zealand, and Sri Lanka during the period commencing from September to mid-December. Following the home season, Indian team will head South Africa for a full tour.

While the 2016-17 season was the grand home season of Test cricket in India, the 2017-18 season is all set to be the grand home limited overs cricket season for the team.
