Next season’s details will be released by CA this week,but a second announcement after Easter will roll out a six-year plan to run from the Ashes series in 2025-26.
That plan,put together after co-operation between CA and state governments,will see costs deferred and more marketing of Test matches worth millions of dollars given the certainty of programming.
However,hosting rights have been allocated without the sort of state government investment that saw Victoria pay millions for a long-term agreement with the AFL to keep the grand final at the MCG,or South Australia shell out for the AFL’s “Gather Round” and LIV Golf.
