For the first time in the history of women's cricket, a women's test match is set to be hosted by the great colossal, Melbourne Cricket Ground, MCG. Aussie superstar all rounder Ellyse Perry is ecstatic about it.

“An occasion like the Ashes series, we all saw that fixture and thought, ‘What an amazing opportunity’ and (considered) how much possibility that also carries in terms of what it could do for the game,” Perry said.

“It is an amazing ground and it carries so much history through Australian sport and obviously cricket is a big part of it. To be talking about playing on the MCG in an Ashes Test match … in a calendar year is pretty exciting for us."

“I think all the girls are really looking forward to that. It’s a phenomenal ground. It’s so grand in so many respects and as you mentioned, we’ve got a great history with it."

“With the Test match being at the end of the series as well, it could be really important for a team needing to push for a victory in order to secure the Ashes.”

“I think that’s the aspiration for everyone involved, is to start to regularly play at the best stadiums around the country and most importantly have really good crowds attend those matches,” she said.

“I think that’s the next evolution for women’s cricket, but more globally as well, for women’s sport. We’re starting to see that happen more and more often across the board, so it’s a really exciting time for everyone.”
