Allan Border Calls For 'tired' Gabba To Make Way For New Stadium Following Test Hosting Snub
Play Cricket Week: Former Australia captain Allan Border has called for a ‘tired’ Gabba to make way for the construction of a new cricket stadium following the iconic venue’s snub from hosting Tests, starting from 2026/27 season.
On Sunday, Cricket Australia said the traditional Boxing Day and New Year’s Tests would remain at the MCG and SCG respectively until 2030/31. It also said the Gabba is only guaranteed to host Tests for just next two years, citing ‘discussions about future international cricket in Queensland ongoing’.
It means that for the first time since 1976/77, a Test Match will not be held at the Gabba in 2026/27. As of now, the Gabba will host the third India-Australia Test of this year’s Border-Gavaskar Trophy this December and the second Test of next year’s Ashes, which will be a day-night game.
