India will lock horns with Australia in a three-match ODI series in early 2019. The Australian team is in lurches after the sandpaper gate incident and they will look to get their World Cup preparation back on track by delivering some fine performances at their home.

The Indian management will have an opportunity to test the players in overseas conditions. A good performance in this series will give confidence to the Indian team, while a bad performance will leave them with a little time to rejuvenate.
