Cricket Australia has prepared a strong plan to celebrate the anniversary of Test cricket with great pomp. For this, the plan of Australia and England has come out. Both the teams will clash in a single Test match on the anniversary. This match will be held at the historic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Let us tell you that the first match in Test history was played between Australia and England in 1877, which was held at the Melbourne ground. The on-field rivalry between Australia and England has been going on for a long time, which is known as the Ashes. The Ashes is the oldest series. However, it is not clear now whether the only Test to be played on the 150th anniversary will be a part of the Ashes or not. Earlier, when Test cricket completed 100 years in 1977, a match was played between England and Australia at the MCG. The Australian team captained by Greg Chappell defeated England by 45 runs at that time. Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley said that a Test match will be organized at the MCG on the 150th anniversary in March 2027, which will be a wonderful celebration of the longest format of cricket. We will eagerly wait to host England on that occasion. Boxing Day test matches will be played for the next seven years The MCG will not only host the match on the 150th anniversary but will also host Boxing Day Tests for the next seven years. Cricket Australia has revealed the venues for men’s international matches until 2030-31. The Test is played in the New Year at the Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). CA has also decided to continue this tradition. Hockley said that we are delighted to confirm the long-term hosting rights, which will provide certainty about the venues for some great cricket matches over the next seven years. We are confident that the best cricket will be played at the right time in the best venues across the country.

The few matches I have played in the last few years are indicative of that. Adam further said- If I am selected for the upcoming subcontinent tours for Australia, people will say well that he has an average of 46 with the ball. But the way I am bowling, I think I can be selected. It will be fine.
