Australia will begin its first home One Day International series since 2020 on Sunday as they take on Zimbabwe in Townsville.
Straight after that three-match series, they will play another against New Zealand in Cairns.
With a World Cup just next year, these matches have increased significance as each side looks to hit top form.
Here are all the big talking points
4. What will the pitches be like?
Playing in Cairns and Townsville for the first time since the 2003-04 season, the Australians may feel a bit like visitors in their own backyard.
How well each side acclimatises to the humid conditions and different types of grounds could play a big part in the results.
Interestingly, the one player who has played in Townsville before, Marnus Labuschagne, has suggested it could turn a lot.
If the same is true for Cairns, the venue for the NZ series, Kiwi spinners Michael Bracewell and Mitchell Santner could play a big role.
