Ellyse Perry has withdrawn from WPL 2026 for personal reasons. RCB have replaced her with Sayali Satghare. That leaves RCB with only five overseas players: Georgia Voll, Grace Harris, Nadine de Klerk, Lauren Bell and Linsey Smith.

While it's well-known that only one team has ever recovered from 0-2 down to win a series 3-2 (Australia in 1936-37), it's less commonly mentioned that no team has ever recovered from 0-3 down to limit the margin of defeat to 2-3. England have a chance to make history in Sydney.

While the assessment of the MCG pitch as "unsatisfactory" is the correct decision, match referee Jeff Crowe's reasons are disappointingly superficial. www.icc-cricket.com/news/pitch-r... #Ashes #AusvEng #WTC2027
Pitch rating for Boxing Day Test at MCG revealed | ICC World Test Championship | ICC
The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) pitch for the Boxing Day Ashes Test has been given an unsatisfactory rating after the Test ended within two days.

ABC said that a very prominent Victorian with significant influence is talking to the highest levels of CA to play a one dayer tomoz. Winner getting $1mill.

Will be interesting to see what they come up with.

Day 3 sold out (90k ppl) before the match started.
CA lose $10mill a day.

The last year in which all three of those countries hosted Boxing Day Tests was 2020. There were three BDTs in 2024, but one of them was in Zimbabwe.

There used to be a choice of three Boxing Day Tests running concurrently, in Australia, New Zealand and South Africa. Now, NZ and SA are fully engaged in their T20 competitions and Australia has mastered the two-day Test match.
