Australia And England 150th Anniversary Test Match Will Play In 2027

To mark the 150th anniversary of Test cricket, cricket fans around the world are going to see a historic event in March 2027 when Australia and England play a one-off Test match at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). This historic game honors the long-standing rivalry between these two cricketing greats as well as the sport's rich history.

The First Test Match Of Aus Vs Eng Was Played In 1877 At MCG

In March 1877, Australia and England played their first Test match at the MCG, with Australia winning by 45 runs. The Centenary Test was played at the same location a century later in 1977, and unexpectedly, Australia won by the same 45-run margin. This tradition will be carried on in 2027, 150 years after that first historic event.

The First Time Melbourne Will Host Day/Night Pink Balls Test Match

The MCG will host a men's day-night Test match for the first time in its historic history. This innovation, which is planned for March 11–15, 2027, aims to increase fan awareness of the game and give the celebration a modern spin. The choice to play under lights carries out Shane Warne's dream of a day-night Test at the MCG, which he strongly opposed because he thought it would improve the game's show.

This Test Match Honoured Of Past Tradition And Modern Innovation

Test cricket's long legacy and dynamic character will be shown by the 150th Anniversary Test between Australia and England at the MCG in March 2027. This historic event aims to bring attention to the sport's rich heritage and promising future by keeping past traditions while welcoming modern innovations.
