The tour will feature three T20 matches in Brisbane, three 50-over matches in Mackay and a four-day match on the Gold Coast.
The four-day match will give players from both countries a rare opportunity to enjoy long hours of cricket.
“I’m really looking forward to coming into this series and the challenge that India A will pose,” McGrath said. “It gives us a chance to prepare for a huge summer against a strong opponent who won’t play in the Hundreds.”
National team selector Sean Flagler said: “This series will allow us to take a closer look at players who have impressed domestically and will provide the national team with an opportunity to fine-tune their preparations ahead of the ICC T20 World Cup.”
Australia return to action in a three-match T20I series against New Zealand in mid-September before heading to Bangladesh for the T20 World Cup. The World Cup is followed immediately by another busy season with the WBBL starting, followed by an ODI series against India, a short tour of New Zealand in December and the multi-format Ashes in January.
