The fixtures and venues for both series were officially released by BCCI on Wednesday, on its website. The ODIs will be played between September 17 and October 1. The T20Is commence on October 7 and the tour ends October 13 in Hyderabad.
This will be second time this year that Australia will be travelling to India. In February-March they played 4 Tests which the Virat Kohli-led hosts won 2-1 to claim the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
Australia's previous limited overs tour to India was in 2013 when the home team won 3-2 in the seven-match ODI rubber. The lone T20I too was won by the hosts.
India are currently in Sri Lanka where they will end the tour with a T20I tonight. They made a clean sweep of both Test (3-0) and ODI (5-0) rubbers.
Australia are away in Bangladesh, playing two Tests. They will start their India trip with a warm-up game on September 12 (Tuesday) in Chennai.
