Summer 2021–22 HISTORY The Ashes and International Series Melbourne Cricket Ground Official Hospitality Group Tickets Travel Packages
WELCOME
WELCOME
TO THE SUMMER OF CRICKET
The moment has arrived. The Ashes. There is no greater rivalry in
world cricket. And we can’t wait to take on the old enemy once again,
this time on our home turf.
This is what playing for Australia is all about. We are privileged to represent our country and do our best to make
Australians proud. A home Ashes Series takes it to another level.
England will be smarting, and they will be ready. We know they have spent the past two years plotting their revenge
from the day we retained the urn at Old Trafford. We too are ready and will leave no stone unturned to keep the
Ashes. Our plan is to play attacking cricket and, given the talent in both sides, I am sure England will do the same.
One thing I am also very privileged to do this summer is lead the team onto my home ground for the first time in
the historic first Test against Afghanistan. There will be no greater honour in my cricketing career than to wear a
baggy green for the first time at Blundstone Arena.
After the Ashes, Finchy will lead our men in the white ball series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Like me,
Finchy is deeply honoured to lead his country and incredibly passionate about making all Australians proud.
Those games will be amazing contests in another World Cup year.
In our time as captains we have worked very hard to restore the country’s faith in this team and I think we have
gone a long way to doing that. Results aside, doing our very best on and off the field as players and people with
integrity, honesty and humility is our priority. Ultimately, we want to inspire young boys and girls to play and love
the game. We represent them every time we put on an Australian cap. Just as our predecessors did for us.
The support of you our sponsors, broadcast and corporate partners, hospitality guests and fans are very special to
this team. We deeply appreciate all of those involved in making this game great.
As we slowly emerge from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, hopefully you will be able to enjoy all that
CA’s corporate facilities have to offer and watch two of the fiercest rivals in world sport go ‘head to head’.
Have a great summer. We promise to make you proud.

THE VENUE MCG Melbourne Cricket Ground The Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG), also known simply as ‘The G’, is home to the Melbourne Cricket Club. It is the tenth largest stadium in the world, the largest in the Southern Hemisphere, the largest cricket ground by capacity, and has the tallest light towers of any sporting venue. Since construction in 1853, the MCG has been in a state of almost constant renewal. It served as the centrepiece stadium of the 1956 Summer Olympics, the 2006 Commonwealth Games and two Cricket World Cups: 1992 and 2015. It is also famous for its role in the development of international cricket; it was the venue for both the first Test match and the first One Day International, played between Australia and England in 1877 and 1971 respectively. Ask any Victorian and they’ll be aware of the Melbourne Cricket Ground’s status as the home of sport. Often described as the beating heart of this fantastic city, the MCG attracts up to 100,000 fans to the annual AFL Grand Final and comes to life each Christmas at the Boxing Day Test.
