To commemorate the 150th anniversary of the first-ever Test Match, played between Australia and England from March 15-19, 1877, at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground, England will revisit the venue in 2027 for a special one-off Anniversary Test. This match will mark a significant milestone, celebrating 150 years of Test Cricket between the two historic rivals.
