New Delhi: Australia is set to host a stand-alone celebratory match against England at Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in 2027 to celebrate 150 years of Test cricket. The first Test match was also played between Australia and England in 1877, which the Aussies won by 45 runs.
On the same ground 100 years later, Australia again defeated England by 45 runs—exactly the same margin—as both the sides took part in the celebratory Centenary Test.
“The 150th anniversary Test match at the MCG in March 2027 will be a wonderful celebration of the pinnacle format of the game at one of the world’s great sporting arenas and we can’t wait to host England on that historic occasion,” said Cricket Australia Chief Executive, Nick Hockley.
