Cricket Australia on Tuesday announced the schedule for the women&#8217;s Ashes alongside the schedule for their series of white-ball games against New Zealand and India.\u00a0  <!-- \/8323530\/ITv_Desktop_VDO_1X1 -->\n  <\/p>\n<p>The MCG will host a historic day and night Test between Australia and England women and it will be the maiden pink-ball fixture at the iconic venue. The four-day match which will take place from January 30 to February 2, will also mark the 90th anniversary of the first women&#8217;s Test played in December 1934. The game holds another significance as Australia women will be playing their first Test match at The &#8216;G since 1949.<\/p>\n<p>Australian women will take on their English counterparts in a multi-format Ashes and it will be the first time that the Women&#8217;s Ashes will be played in a separate season to the men&#8217;s competition since the point-based system has come into existence.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The series will begin with three ODIs starting from January 12, followed by a T20I series which will start from January 20. The Test will begin 10 days later. &#8220;This is one of the most highly anticipated summers of cricket in memory, with the eyes of the cricket world focused on the extended Border-Gavaskar Trophy Series and the multi-format Women\u2019s Ashes,&#8221; Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said on the Australian summer.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Perry calls MCG Test &#8216;next evolution&#8217; for women&#8217;s cricket<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Meanwhile, Australian veteran Ellyse Perry has termed the MCG Test as the next evolution for the women&#8217;s game. &#8220;It&#8217;s certainly an amazing opportunity for the team to play at such an iconic Australian cricket venue and in such a such a big occasion like an Ashes series,&#8221; Perry told reporters on Tuesday.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We all saw that fixture and thought &#8216;what an amazing opportunity&#8217; and how much possibility that also carries in terms of what it could do for the game. I think that&#8217;s the aspiration for everyone involved, to start to regularly play at the best stadiums around the country and most importantly have really good crowds attend those matches.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;That&#8217;s the next evolution for women&#8217;s cricket (and) more globally as well for women&#8217;s sport, we&#8217;re starting to see that happen more and more often across the board,&#8221; she added.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script async>\nfunction loadFacebookScript(){\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\nfbq('init', '529056027274737');\nfbq('track', 'PageView');\n}\nwindow.addEventListener('load', (event) => {\n\tsetTimeout(function(){\n        loadFacebookScript();\n\t}, 5000);\n});\n<\/script><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Image Source : GETTY Australian women&#8217;s team.
