The first match will take place at Marrara Stadium in Darwin. It starts on August 13. It will be the first men’s Test played there in more than two decades.
The second Test will be held from August 22 to 26. It will take place at the Great Barrier Reef Arena in Mackay. This will be a historic event for the venue. It will host its very first men’s Test match. This further underscores the significance of the series for Australian cricket.
