On the auspicious occasion of completion of 150 years of Test cricket, MSG will organize the only Test match between England and Australia in 2027.

Australia and England will play an oddball Test at the MCG in Walk 2027 to stamp 150 years of the configuration. The affirmation of the commemoration apparatus in Melbourne came as Cricket Australia [CA] and state legislatures reported that the MCG, SCG and Adelaide Oval had secured in seven-year organizing arrangements for their normal Tests. The Test in 2027 will recreate the Century Trial of 1977 which Australia won by 45 runs, matching the edge of the principal Test played in 1877. In 1977, Bar Swamp and Derek Randall struck hundreds of years while Dennis Lillee asserted 11 wickets. The yearly Boxing Day (Melbourne) and New Year's Tests (Sydney) have been ensured in until 2030-31 while Adelaide has gotten a seven-year obligation to a pre-Christmas space for their Test after the South Australia government made a pitch for the New Year's Test. Albeit the ongoing Future Visits Program (FTP) is simply inked up to mid 2027, England and India have affirmed visits in the four years after that. In the mean time, Optus Arena in Perth will have the initial Trial of the time for the following three seasons. Mike Baird, the Cricket Australia seat, said that it was the Western Australian government's choice not to look for a more extended bargain. That implies the following year's Remains will begin in the west as opposed to the customary Gabba in Brisbane. They will then have New Zealand toward the beginning of the 2026-27 season. The fate of Gabba has been left blurred in the midst of vulnerability over the redevelopment plans for the arena in front of the 2032 Olympics and just the following two seasons - coordinates against India and Britain - have been affirmed with an opportunity the Gabba doesn't have a Test for an extensive time frame after that. The 2026-27 season will be the first time in quite a while that the Gabba won't have a Test. "In Brisbane it is more diligently [to plan] due to the framework," Baird said. "There is simply vulnerability, so we don't know of the drawn out arrangement. What we truly do know is the Gabba needs life that closures in 2030. We really want an answer, and are working with the AFL too on a drawn out arrangement. "We need an extraordinary setting in Brisbane, that can uphold Queensland Cricket and Australian cricket long into the future." Adelaide is the customary home of day-night Test cricket having facilitated seven of the 12 matches held in Australia albeit the new understanding doesn't ensure that all future Tests there will be pink-ball experiences and the 2025-26 Cinders Test will be a red-ball game with Brisbane facilitating the day-nighter. Adelaide Oval will likewise have Another Year's Eve BBL game for the following seven years. Britain will visit for a five-match Cinders series in 2025-26 and New Zealand will be the guests in 2026-27. The last series will be reached out to four Tests from the first three on the FTP and be played in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. Australia are then because of visit India for five Tests in January and February 2027. With the extra commemoration Test, there is a possible press on the schedule in Walk 2027 with Australia because of host Bangladesh in two matches which are region of the planet Test Title. There is an opportunity those games will be moved albeit under the ongoing WTC design would should be played in front of the June 2027 last. Despite the fact that opponent states made endeavors to take the marquee Christmas and New Year Tests off Melbourne and Sydney it was generally an impossible result. Past 2026-27 there could be a chance for different scenes to vie for a Test should the Gabba be inaccessible which would bring Hobart and Canberra in with the general mish-mash. Tasmania has desires to have indoor Test cricket at their proposed new multipurpose arena albeit that will not be accessible until no less than 2028. The organizing arrangements affirmed on Sunday are one of the last enormous tasks finished by active CA Chief Scratch Hockley who declared recently that he would step down next Spring. A future timetable for ladies' internationals will be affirmed before long when the following FTP is finished however Adelaide has been ensured an ODI or T20I each season.
