Melbourne Cricket Ground: Australia and England will play a day-night Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in March 2027 to celebrate the 150th anniversary of Test cricket, the Cricket Australia announced on Tuesday.

"The 150th Anniversary Test from March 11-15, 2027, will be the first time the Australian men have played a Test under lights at the MCG, the scene of the first Test match in 1877 and the Centenary Test in 1977 – remarkably, both won by Australia by 45 runs," it said in a statement.

It will be the first day-night men’s Test match at the MCG, which follows the historic first day-night Test at the MCG earlier this year where Australia’s women completed an Ashes clean sweep.
