India vs Pakistan Test Match can take place in 2023 at Melbourne Cricket Ground. Know Full Details

MCC Chief looks at the possibility to host a test match between India & Pakistan at Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Following the success of the memorable T20 World Cup match between India and Pakistan played in October, the Melbourne Cricket Club, who manages the MCG, and the Victorian government have made tentative approaches to Cricket Australia about planning a test match between India and Pakistan in Melbourne Cricket Ground.

On the fourth day of the second Test between Australia and South Africa, MCC CEO Stuart Fox disclosed during a conversation on SEN radio that the club and the Victoria government had contacted CA about hosting a neutral Test.

The last time they met was at the Twenty20 World Cup in October, where 90,000 plus fans piled into the Melbourne Cricket Ground to watch India win, with special thanks to Virat Kohli. His match-winning knock of 82 set the world cup on fire.

The atmosphere at that game, according to MCC Chief Executive Stuart Fox, showed that it would not be difficult to fill the arena for a test series between the two.

“The atmosphere for that game, I’ve never felt anything like it,” Fox told radio station SEN. “The noise after every ball was phenomenal. Three (tests) in a row would be lovely at the MCG, you’d fill it every time.” said by MCC Chief

“We’ve taken that up with Cricket Australia. I know the (Victoria) government has as well. It’s enormously complicated from what I can understand, amongst a really busy schedule. So I think that’s probably the greater challenge.”

Fox said he hoped Cricket Australia would keep pushing the proposal with the International Cricket Council, the sport’s global governing body.

The Future Tours Program presently does not have any bilateral cricket matches between India and Pakistan scheduled between 2023 and 2027. There are still issues over the two teams visiting each other’s countries for the 2023 Asia Cup and ODI World Cup.
