Hosts have won series but futures of England’s captain Knight and coach Lewis may hinge on Melbourne result
Cricket Australia is expecting a record-breaking turnout for the Women’s Ashes Test that starts at the Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday, with local fans excited by the possibility of the hosts sealing a 16-0 whitewash.
The record crowd for a women’s Test is 23,207, at Trent Bridge in 2023, but on Tuesday Cricket Australia’s CEO, Nick Hockley, confirmed they anticipate exceeding that in Melbourne this week.
