In a boost for Kookaburra Victorian Premier Cricket, the Melbourne Cricket Club will host two matches this season at Australia's premier sporting venue, the Melbourne Cricket Ground.
This will be the first-time men’s Premier Cricket has been played at the ground since January 2010, and the first-time ever women’s Premier Cricket has been played on the hallowed turf.
The first of the two matches will take place on Sunday 26 November when Melbourne’s women’s 1st XI will host Box Hill Cricket Club in a One Day game, whilst defending 1st XI premiers Melbourne will play Kingston Hawthorn in a men’s One Day game on Saturday 20 January.
Cricket Victoria’s General Manager – Premier Cricket Liam Murphy said it’s another great opportunity for Premier Cricketers to play on elite cricket grounds.
