The latest news in and around Brisbane.
Brisbane is set to miss out on a Test match in the 2026-27 summer for the first time in 50 years while Cricket Australia has handed long-term security to Adelaide, Sydney and Melbourne.Officials unveiled their plans for the next seven summers yesterday, with Melbourne to retain the Boxing Day Test and Sydney the New Year’s fixture.Adelaide will hold on to a mid-December Test in each of those summers, with a mixture of day and day-night matches in the South Australian capital.
The trade-off could potentially be North Queensland hosting winter Tests against Bangladesh on one side of that summer, with a chance a two-Test series against the Tigers will move from its current slot in the Future Tours Program.“In Brisbane it is harder because of the infrastructure. There is just uncertainty, so we’re not sure of the long-term solution,” CA chairman Mike Baird said.“What we do know is the Gabba has a use for life that ends in 2030.
