What Is Significance Of 'Boxing Day' Tests?
Due to a rise in covid cases, Cricket South Africa had to reschedule the dates for India's tour of SA. The tour was to commence on December 17th, but now the first match will be played on December 26th at SuperSport Park, Centurion. The T20Is to be played on this tour were indefinitely postponed, but a test was scheduled for December 26th, and its date remains the same. What is so special about this date?
Furthermore, even the third Ashes test will start on this particular date at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Not only this year, every year the matches are scheduled as such that a test is played on this day - in 2020, 3 test matches started on December 26th. (Australia vs India at MCG, New Zealand vs Pakistan at Bay Oval, Mount Maunganui & South Africa vs Sri Lanka at SuperSport Park, Centurion). If one has observed closely, they'd have read the term 'Boxing Day' associated with these tests which are played from 26th December. What is Boxing Day and what is its relevance in cricket?
