Women's Ashes MCG Test a thrilling prospect for Australia captain Alyssa Healy

ABC  

Australia captain Alyssa Healy says the Women's Ashes day-night Test likely won't break all-time attendance records, but is excited to keep trying new things to move the game forward. The last time a Women's Ashes series featured a pink-ball Test was 2017, when Ellyse Perry scored a double century in front of a few thousand people at suburban North Sydney Oval. 2025 Women's Ashes schedule Jan 12: First ODI at North Sydney Oval First ODI at North Sydney Oval Jan 14: Second ODI at Junction Oval Second ODI at Junction Oval Jan 17: Third ODI at Bellerive Oval Third ODI at Bellerive Oval Jan 20: First T20 at SCG First T20 at SCG Jan 23: Second T20 at Manuka Oval Second T20 at Manuka Oval Jan 25: Third T20 at Adelaide Oval Third T20 at Adelaide Oval Jan 30-Feb 2: Only Test at MCG The Fig Tree Lane venue may have been closer to capacity than the 100,000-seat MCG will be come the 2025 edition, but Healy said she would rather try something new and exciting than play it safe. The last time Australia's women played a Test at the MCG was in 1949, meaning the first day of the Test will be 76 years exactly since day three of that game against England.
