After Hosting Bangladesh’s Win Over Australia, NT Cricket Pushes For More International Games
Northern Territory Cricket: Riding high on the resounding success of hosting Bangladesh’s epic Test victory over Australia, Northern Territory Cricket (NTC) CEO Gavin Dovey said the association will push for Darwin to become a regular venue in Australia's home games calendar.
Marrara Stadium, which hosted its first Test match since 2004 last week, expects top marks from ICC match referee Richie Richardson following widespread acclaim for its ‘old-school’ drop-in surface prepared by curator Jake Pavlich. The four-day game drew over 15,000 spectators, including more than half travelling from other states.
Though two post-Ashes ODIs against New Zealand are already scheduled in Darwin for August 2027, Dovey remains optimistic about hosting more international games across all formats. "I'd like to think that the product was that good that some of those things can be solved. Once we get through the one-dayers (against NZ in 2027), I'm hoping that we can then we can sit down with the NT Government and CA and say, 'Right, what does the FTP (Future Tours Programme) look like, and what can the next three years look like?'
