Cricket fans are in for a bonanza this Cricket season. The iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) is undergoing a rapid transformation to host some high-voltage cricket matches featuring Team India, Pakistan’s men’s team, and England’s women’s team this summer.
In a significant development, the MCG has started removing AFL poles and laying down drop-on pitches to prepare for the upcoming cricket season.
The International cricket season will kick off at The MCG from November 4 when Pakistan takes the field for their white-ball series.
Following closely, India A will face Australia A in a four-day contest starting November 7.
The marquee event, however, is the historic Boxing Day Test between India and Australia, commencing from December 26.
As part of a blockbuster summer, the Women’s Ashes will light up the nights from January 30, with a Day-Night Test between Australia and England Women, further adding to the cricket fever.
