New Delhi: Cricket’s most historic Test rivalry, the Ashes, may in the future be played not in Australia or England, but on Indian soil. Cricket Australia Chief Executive Officer Todd Greenberg has given a big statement regarding this idea. He said that there are no such official plans at the moment, but if Test cricket is to be made more popular and exciting, the option of hosting the Ashes in India can be seriously considered. Greenberg believes that given the strong relationships between Cricket Australia, the England and Wales Cricket Board and the Indian Cricket Board, it is not impossible to organize such a major series in the future.

Greenberg said that at present Australia, England and India are the biggest powers in Test cricket. If new experiments are done with the cooperation of these three countries, then Test cricket can be taken to new heights. His statement has come at a time when the Big Bash League has also decided to start its season in India for the first time. This time the first match of the competition was against M.A. of Chennai. Will be played at Chidambaram Stadium. However, he also admitted that the schedule of international cricket is already very busy. It will not be easy to find time for the new series between ICC competitions, franchise leagues and bilateral series.

The Ashes is considered to be the oldest and most prestigious Test series of cricket, which started in the year 1877. The schedules for the 2027 men’s and women’s Ashes series have also been released and both competitions will be played simultaneously in England. If the Ashes is held in India in the coming years, it will not be just a new hosting gig but will be considered a major change in the history of Test cricket. Crores of Indian spectators will get the opportunity to watch the age-old rivalry between Australia and England, which will not only increase the excitement of the game but can also give a new identity to Test cricket at the global level.
