The cricketing world eagerly anticipates the clash of titans as India prepares to tour Australia for the NRMA Men’s Test Series later this year.
This showdown between two powerhouses of the game promises to be a thrilling contest, continuing the storied rivalry between these cricketing nations.
Australia will be seeking revenge for their narrow loss to India in the Super Eight round of the 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup and protect their formidable record at home. The likes of Steve Smith, Pat Cummins, and Mitchell Starc will be key to their campaign. India, on the other hand, aims to replicate their historic series win from 2018-19. They’ll rely on the experience of Virat Kohli and the skill of young talents like Shubman Gill.
The series will likely feature intense battles between bat and ball, with both teams boasting world-class pace attacks and skilled batsmen. As holders of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, India faces the challenge of defending their title in Australian conditions.
Cricket fans can expect high-quality Test cricket, with the potential for memorable performances and nail-biting finishes. The series also offers a wonderful travel opportunity to head interstate (or to Australia) to experience a new city and embrace the atmosphere and energy of summer.
Events Travel is proud to be appointed as an Licensed Travel Operator for the 2024-25 International Summer of Cricket and has a range of official travel packages on offer. Packages include guaranteed tickets to all five Tests in Perth, Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne and Sydney. All packages come with hand-picked value or luxury accommodation and tickets to either the first two days or all four days of each Test.

At the city’s heart, the meticulously planned streets and squares are lined with historic buildings, trendy cafes, and boutique shops. Victoria Square, the focal point for public events, leads you to the Central Market—a haven for food lovers offering fresh produce and gourmet delights. As a festival city, Adelaide bursts with arts and music. Be sure to visit the Art Gallery of South Australia and the South Australian Museum to see a range of Australian and international exhibitions.
For wine enthusiasts, a trip to Adelaide wouldn’t be complete without visiting the nearby wine regions such as the famous Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, and McLaren Vale, all within easy driving distance and offering wine tastings, gourmet food, and scenic vineyard vistas. For those joining us on the Relax Package, we offer an optional Barossa Valley Winery Tour to the famous region on Thursday, which will be a highlight experience available to limited numbers.
Back in the city, indulge in Australia’s freshest produce at award-winning restaurants or unwind in the chic bars and pubs along the laneways. For those interested in nature and wildlife, consider a day trip to Kangaroo Island to see native wildlife in its natural habitat, or relax on the beautiful beaches of Glenelg, just a tram ride from the city centre.
Adelaide’s relaxed pace combined with an energetic cultural scene offers a balanced city experience surrounded by natural beauty, promising an unforgettable trip.

Melbourne is a dynamic, cosmopolitan city that combines cutting-edge style with a relaxed and carefree spirit. Celebrated for its creative arts, world-class dining, stunning galleries, cozy cafes, boutique shops, and spectacular sports events, the city offers a wealth of experiences. In the heart of the CBD, explore hidden laneways filled with vibrant street art, and just to the north, discover bohemian shopping strips and some of the finest Italian cuisine outside Italy. A short stroll or complimentary tram ride from the CBD takes you to the world-renowned MCG (home of the Boxing Day Test) and Melbourne Park (home of the Australian Open). For the intrepid traveller, Melbourne is a treasure trove of opportunities: within just an hour or two, you can find enchanting wineries, majestic National Parks, charming alpine towns, and breathtaking coastal drives. With its myriad offerings, Melbourne is the ideal backdrop for your dream Boxing Day Test adventure.
