Peter Roach, Cricket Australia’s head of cricket operations and scheduling, said:

“We want our women to play at major venues as much as possible. This series against England is a great opportunity to keep building excitement and go beyond community expectations. We expect strong support from the MCC and the Victorian Government for the MCG match and hope for a great turnout to end a competitive series.”
