Former Australia captain Allan Border
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 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 in December and the second Test of next year’s Ashes, which will be a day-night game.
