MCG 150th Anniversary Test Set for Day‑Night Pink Ball Clash with England

All public tickets for the first three days of the 150th anniversary Test have sold out, confirming the high demand for cricket’s biggest celebration. The match will be played as a day‑night fixture using the pink ball, a format that adds extra excitement under lights. The event will see Australia facing England on a historic evening at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, where every run and wicket will be recorded against the backdrop of the newly released white jersey.

The schedule is packed for the Australian squad, with Pat Cummins’ side already engaged in a three‑match series in South Africa. Before returning to Melbourne, the team will travel to New Zealand for a four‑Test home series, followed by a five‑Test Border‑Gavaskar Trophy against India. This intense itinerary highlights the importance placed on the 150th Test and the nation’s commitment to maintaining a world‑class cricket calendar.
