Overview
- Cricket Australia chief executive Todd Greenberg said on Thursday he is "open" to considering an England‑Australia Test in India while stressing that CA has no active plans to stage the Ashes there.
- Any move would need formal sign‑off from the England and Wales Cricket Board and the Board of Control for Cricket in India and would require complex negotiation between the three boards.
- Greenberg warned that the international schedule is already crowded and that finding a five‑day window for an Ashes Test in India would be a major logistical challenge.
- CA has already taken concrete steps into the Indian market by confirming the Big Bash League season opener in Chennai in December 2026, showing a willingness to export marquee fixtures.
- The idea is framed as a way to boost Test cricket’s appeal and tap India’s lucrative audience, but it would break a long‑standing home‑and‑away Ashes tradition and no formal talks between the boards have been reported yet.
