Cricket Australia Stands Firm On Pink-ball Test Plan For 2029-30 Home Ashes
CEO Todd Greenberg: Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Todd Greenberg has reaffirmed its intention to include a day-night Test in the 2029–30 men’s Ashes series, pushing back against recent reports suggesting that the fixture had already been ruled out.
During the most recent Ashes series in Australia, the day-night Test was staged in Brisbane, where the hosts secured an eight-wicket victory. England’s record in such matches on Australian soil remains poor; they have played four pink-ball Tests there and lost each by sizeable margins. Earlier this season, England batter Joe Root even questioned whether a day-night Test was necessary during an Ashes series, given the traditionally high interest surrounding the contest.
Despite the debate, CA chief executive Todd Greenberg said there had been no formal request from England to remove the format from the series.
