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.

There is every possibility that he can prove to be a trump card for India along with (Jasprit) Bumrah in Australia.” The source further added that, “In fact, the selectors are keen to have the option of another left-arm pacer at least in the white-ball squad, which is why Khaleel Ahmed toured Zimbabwe and has been selected for both the ODIs and T20Is in Sri Lanka.” Let us tell you, the Indian team will tour Australia at the end of this year.

‘You have to go with the plan you have made’ Chris Woakes on England’s strategy against lower-order batsmen
England have taken a lead of 207 runs against West Indies after the third day of the second Test. Chris Woakes (Image Credit- Twitter X) England fast bowler Chris Woakes has backed Ben Stokes’ decision to ask Shamar Joseph to bowl more wickets instead of Joshua de Silva on the third day of the second Test against the West Indies. However, in the match being played at Trent Bridge Nottingham, West Indies’ innings could have been limited to 386/9, but the Caribbean team’s number 11 batsman Shamar Joseph played an aggressive brand of cricket, due to which West Indies took the lead over England for the first time in the match. At the same time, Stokes’ decision was also strongly criticized by former cricketer Michael Vaughan. On the third day of the second Test match between England and West Indies, Joshua led the team in batting, but the English fast bowlers’ target in the match was to take the wicket of tailender Shamar Joseph. But this strategy of the team did not work at all, and Joseph played a stormy innings of 33 runs in 27 balls. During this innings, Joseph hit 5 fours and 2 excellent sixes. On the other hand, after this innings of Shamar Joseph, a big statement has come from fast bowler Chris Woakes. Woakes said that he did not expect that the number 11 player would play this kind of cricket, but we had to bowl according to our plan. Chris Woakes made a big statement Let us tell you that after the end of the third day of the second Test match between England and West Indies, Chris Woakes, as quoted by Cricbuzz, said – This was a time that could create problems. You have to go with the plan that you have made. This might not always be true for you, but when the field is out on the field it is easy as a bowler to think that all you are doing is getting the No. 11 batsman out. Woakes further said- You don’t always expect that the number 11 batsman will play some balls in the stands. It was a good game for them, that they played good cricket. We bowled according to our plan for a long time and in the end we got the result.
