Adelaide, however, has secured a seven-year devotion to a pre-Christmas gambling for their Exam
To commemorate 150 years of the MCG, Australia and England will perform a one-off Evaluation in March 2027. The MCG, SCG, and Adelaide Oval's regular Tests had seven-year staging agreements locked in place as Cricket Australia [CA ] and state governments received confirmation of the anniversary game in Melbourne.
The more Evaluation in 2027 will resemble the 45-run Centenary Test won by Australia in 1977, matching the percentage of the original test played in 1877. The annual Boxing Day ( Melbourne ) and New Year's Tests ( Sydney ) have been locked in until 2030-31 while Adelaide has secured a seven-year commitment to a pre-Christmas slot for their Test after the South Australia government made a pitch for the New Year's Test.
Although the current Future Tours Programme (FTP ) is only inked up to early 2027, England and India have confirmed tours in the four years after that.
The first Evaluation of the year for the next three months will take place at Optus Stadium in Perth. Mike Baird, the Cricket Australia seat, said that it was the American Australian president's decision not to pursue a longer offer. That means next year's Ashes will begin in the west rather than the conventional Gabba in Brisbane. They will therefore number New Zealand at the start of the 2026-27 period.
The future of Gabba has been left distorted amid uncertainty over the reconstruction plans for the stadium ahead of the 2032 Olympics and only the following two seasons- matches against India and England- have been confirmed with a prospect the Gabba does n't sponsor a Check for a considerable period after that.
Seven of the 12 games played in Adelaide are still held there during day-night Test cricket, but the new contract does not ensure that all subsequent Testing does feature pink-ball contacts and the 2025-26 Ashes Test will feature a red-ball activity with Brisbane hosting the day-nighter. For the following seven years, Adelaide Oval may even host a New Year's Eve BBL activity.
England will journey for a five-match Ashes set in 2025-26 and New Zealand will be the guests in 2026-27. The former set may be extended to four Testing from the initial three on the FTP and been played in Perth, Adelaide, Melbourne, and Sydney. Australia are therefore expected to visit India for five Testing in January and February 2027.
With the extra celebration Test, there is a potential press on the calender in March 2027 with Australia according to number Bangladesh in two games which are part of the World Test Championship.
Even though adversary states attempted to oust Melbourne and Sydney from their tent Christmas and New Year Tests, the outcome was usually unfavorable. Beyond 2026-27 there could be an option for different venues to compete for a Test does the Gabba be absent which would provide Hobart and Canberra into the mixture. Although that wo n't be possible until at least 2028, Tasmania plans to host indoor Test cricket at the proposed new multipurpose stadium.
One of the final significant projects completed by CA CEO Nick Hockley, who announced earlier this month that he would step down in March, is the staging agreements that were confirmed on Sunday.
When the next FTP is finished, Adelaide will be guaranteed an ODI or T20I every season. However, a future schedule for women's internationals will be confirmed in the coming months.
