Notably, Cricket Australia started the trend of wearing retro jerseys during India’s last tour in 2018-19. At that time Australia sported their 1985 World Series kit.
Earlier this year, Australia and New Zealand both wore their 1999 World Cup uniforms.
India will take on Australia in three ODIs, three T20Is and four Tests.
The first two ODIs will be played in Adelaide while final fifty-overs fixture will be played in Canberra.
India had beaten Australia 2-1 in the ODI series, the last time. This ODI series will mark India’s first limited-overs fixture in close to 9 months. The last ODI played was against New Zealand in February this year. Their fixtures against South Africa, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe had to be cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
