The 150th anniversary of Test cricket will be celebrated in the year 2027. Ben Stokes Australia Cricket Team (Photo Source: Twitter) Test cricket will complete 150 years in the year 2027. 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.

“He has to follow the rules, play domestic cricket”- Jay Shah said on Ishan Kishan’s arbitrariness
BCCI secretary Jay Shah recently admitted that he had removed both these cricketers from the central contract to send them a message.

Jay Shah sent a strong message regarding Ishan Kishan Jai Shah was quoted by Times of India as saying, “If you look at the Duleep Trophy team, apart from Rohit and Virat, others will play. Shreyas Iyer and Ishan Kishan are playing Duleep Trophy because of the strict measures taken by me,” Jai Shah told Times of India. He further said, “We have been a bit strict. When Ravindra Jadeja was injured, I called him and asked him to play domestic matches. Now it is certain that whoever goes out due to injury can come back to the Indian team only after proving his fitness in domestic cricket.” BCCI secretary Jay Shah has given a short but clear message regarding Ishan’s return. He says that any player hoping to return to the national team will have to give importance to domestic cricket. He clearly said that Ishan will have to follow the rules of the board. Shah said, “He will have to follow the rules. He will have to play domestic cricket.”

“The doors of return to Team India are closed for Pujara”- Former veteran cricketer made a shocking claim
Cheteshwar Pujara. (Image Source: Getty Images) Former Pakistan cricketer Basit Ali has questioned the absence of senior Indian players Ajinkya Rahane and Cheteshwar Pujara as well as Sanju Samson and Rinku Singh from the four Duleep Trophy teams. He said that if Pujara was a contender for a place in the Test team, he could have proved to be an important batsman for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Senior star cricketers including captain Rohit Sharma, key batsman Virat Kohli, fast bowler Jasprit Bumrah and key spinner Ravichandran Ashwin have been rested from the Duleep Trophy. While Pujara and Rahane have been dropped from the team, Samson and Rinku Singh did not find a place in any of the four teams selected for the Duleep Trophy. Basit Ali said that he was surprised by the non-selection of some big names. Basit Ali gave a surprising statement about Cheteshwar Pujara Baris Ali said on his YouTube channel, “I saw the teams and I was surprised that 3-4 names are not in it. Ajinkya Rahane is not there. Cheteshwar Pujara is not there. Sanju Samson is not there. Rinku Singh is not there. Shivam Dubey has been selected. I think he is being prepared as an all-rounder. Let’s see who performs well in the Duleep Trophy.” He further added, “Pujara could have proved useful in Australia. I am surprised that he is not there despite Gautam Gambhir being there (as India’s coach). Even Rinku Singh is not in the squad. Again, keeping Gambhir in mind, it is quite surprising.” Let us tell you that apart from young Shubman Gill, players like Rituraj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and Abhimanyu Easwaran have been given the responsibility of captaincy in the teams for Duleep Trophy 2024. Let us tell you that the first match of this tournament will be played on 5 September.
“I have no hope”- Why did Sarfaraz Khan give such a statement before the Bangladesh Test series
Sarfraz will aim to perform well in both tournaments and keep himself ready for the upcoming Test series against India. However, he knows that with the return of Virat Kohli and KL Rahul in the middle order, his place in the playing XI is not guaranteed. Sarfaraz Khan gave a big statement regarding Bangladesh Test series “I have no expectations… but if the opportunity comes, I will be ready. I have always been doing this and I see no reason to change it,” Sarfaraz Khan was quoted as saying by the Indian Express. He further added, “Some get a break very early in their career. Some have to wait. In my case, I am lucky that it took time because I got a chance to spend a lot of time in domestic cricket and that experience helped me become a better batsman.” The Mumbai batsman further said, “When I debuted, I was nervous for the first three balls. But after that, I was in control. Whatever I used to do at the domestic level, I was doing the same in Test cricket. I was very clear in my mind. I was not looking at the opposition or the bowler.”

If we talk about the Indian fast bowler, Mohammed Shami had earlier suffered an ankle injury and has been away from cricket since then. After a successful surgery, he has been in rehab for the last few months. Although he was asked to play in the upcoming Duleep Trophy to prove his match fitness before returning to the national team, the Indian board BCCI probably decided to give him enough time to recover completely. Currently, Shami has started bowling at the National Cricket Academy (NCA) in Bengaluru, where he is working with the coaches to regain match fitness. Notably, the pacer is focused on the two Test matches against Bangladesh for his return to home ground. The series against Bangladesh will begin on September 19.
