Schedule for Women's Ashes 2025: Four-day Test to be held at Melbourne Cricket Ground

The Test match in the 2025 Women's Ashes in Australia will be a day-night game at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, which has a capacity of 100,000.

The Test will return to a four-day format after being extended to five days during the 2023 series in England.

The pink-ball game will start on 30 January and mark the end of the multi-format series for the first time since its introduction in 2015.

Last year in England, Australia retained the Ashes with an 8-8 draw.

Perry stated that she would lean towards favouring a five-day Test due to the high number of four-day games that end in a draw. However, she acknowledged that this issue will continue to arise.

The multi-format Ashes will also include three one-day internationals and three T20s, each worth two points. The Test is worth four points.

The ODI series will commence on January 12, followed by the T20s on January 20.

In 2023, Australia won the Test, but England claimed both white-ball series 2-1.

The last time England won the Women's Ashes was in 2014, with a 10-8 victory in Australia.
