Cricket Australia CEO Says Hosting Of Day-night Boxing Day Test At MCG Is 'not Off The Cards'

By IANS News December 26, 2025 • 12:52 PM View: 334

Cricket Australia CEO: Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg has not ruled out the possibility of a day-night Boxing Day Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The MCG held a women’s day-night Test match in January 2025; in addition, the venue will host Australia and England's 150th Anniversary Test under lights in March 2027.

Melbourne hosted the inaugural Boxing Day Test in 1950. Since then CA holds contractual rights to use the MCG until the end of March each summer, despite the venue often being used for Australian Rules football in that month. Earlier this year, it extended its venue hire agreement with the MCG until the 2030-31 summer.
