Australia had a very successful season that included winning the ICC Champions Trophy and a home season in which they were undefeated against the touring West Indies and Pakistan.
The hosting rights were also moved from Pakistan to South Africa.
Australia played seven ODIs in India from 25 October to 11 November 2009.
The seven ODIs complemented the Test series that took place between the two nations in 2008 in India.
The top two teams progressed to the 2010 ICC World Twenty20 in the Caribbean.
