When does the Australian cricket team play next? Post-Ashes schedule for men's Test side image

The Ashes are officially in the rear-view mirror, with Australia retaining the urn after a wildly-entertaining 2-2 series draw against a gallant England side.

The visitors took an early 2-0 lead but were unable to close it out with a final victory, while the hosts bounced back in style and easily could have won the series if not for rain at Old Trafford.

The newly-crowned World Test Championship winners will now turn their attention to white-ball cricket and preparations for the ODI World Cup, before Test series on home soil against West Indies and Pakistan. 

The Sporting News has all the latest schedule news for the Aussies below.

When does the Australian men's Test cricket team play next?
