MELBOURNE: Cricket Australia (CA) on Thursday announced that the WACA Ground will host the second-ever women’s day-night Test match when Australia take on India in a multi-format series to kick off the 2021-22 international summer of cricket.
The historic Test match will be the first between the Australian and Indian women’s teams in 15 years, and India’s first-ever women’s day-night Test. The series will also be the first time the two sides meet since the record-breaking ICC Women’s T20 World Cup final at the MCG in 2020.
Following the announcement of the men’s and women’s Ashes and the historic first men’s Test against Afghanistan, the 2021-22 season will feature eight Test matches across seven states and territories in what promises to be an epic summer.
