mcg tests

Melbourne Cricket Club: Melbourne Cricket Club (MCC) chief Stuart Fox has addressed the potential for the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) to host two Tests in a single season, emphasizing that the decision lies with Australia's governing body for the sport.

Last month, Australian media reports hinted at the iconic Melbourne venue being considered to host two Test matches, enabling Australia to host the traditional Boxing Day Test against New Zealand on December 26 in 2026 with the possibility of a one-off match against England to celebrate the 150th year of Test cricket in March of 2027.

“It’s really a question for Cricket Australia. We’ve had discussions, it’s certainly not locked in. We’ve certainly expressed strong interest that we would love to host that game," Fox said on SEN Breakfast.
