Australia vs England 150th anniversary Test to be played under lights at iconic MCG
Australia will play a day-night Test at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) against archrivals England in 2027 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Test cricket, Cricket Australia (CA) announced on Tuesday.
The 150th Anniversary Test will be played from March 11-15, 2027, and will be the first time the Australian team will play a Test under lights at the MCG, the scene of the first Test match in 1877 and the Centenary Test in 1977 – remarkably, both won by Australia by 45 runs.
This will follow the historic first day-night Test at the MCG earlier this year where Australia’s women completed an Ashes clean-sweep.
