The Countdown Begins. The world’s best are heading our way.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy and Women’s Ashes will headline a blockbuster summer of cricket! -
"Cricket Australia is excited about the prospect of touring Pakistan next year for what will be a highly anticipated series in a country so incredibly passionate about the game and their national team."
Nick Hockley, Cricket Australia CEO 🇦🇺
Our Aussie men will now play for the Benaud-Qadir Trophy in all future men's Test series against Pakistan 🏆
A fitting tribute to two legendary leg-spinners!

Our 18-player Test squad for the Qantas tour of Pakistan! 🔒
The Test playing contingent and staff are due to depart for Pakistan later this month while white ball players, to be announced separately, will join mid-tour for the ODI and T20I matches.
We are shocked and saddened by the passing of Shane Warne.
A true cricketing genius.
Our thoughts are with his family, friends and fans all across the world.
Our Aussie men have donated their prize money from the recent tour of Sri Lanka to support children and families impacted by the nation's worst economic crisis in decades 💛
It's been devastating to see the effects of torrential rains in Pakistan, with one-third of the country under water and more than 33 million people affected.

Two weeks before the Khawaja family left for Australia, a young Usman had a hit of cricket on the old Rawalpindi ground.
Some 30 years later, he's back in Rawalpindi opening the batting for Australia.

As our men's national team touches down in India, we'd like to take a moment to recognise the 75th anniversary of India's independence, and 75 years of bilateral relations between our two countries!

We are deeply saddened at the passing of Maria Cummins overnight. On behalf of Australian Cricket, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Pat, the Cummins family and their friends. The Australian Men's team will today wear black armbands as a mark of respect.
Our first day's play back in Pakistan didn't go exactly to plan, but it's great to be back nonetheless!
Pakistan scored 1-245 with Nathan Lyon the wicket-taker for our Aussies

An incredible end to an incredible series!

In 2018, Scott Boland travelled to the UK to retrace the footsteps of Johnny Mullagh and the 1868 Aboriginal XI.
Today, he won the award named in Mullagh's honour, on Test debut against England 🖤💛❤️

Cricket Australia is committed to supporting growing the game for women and men around the world, including in Afghanistan, and will continue to engage with the Afghanistan Cricket Board in anticipation of improved conditions for women and girls in the country.
Day four started so well for our boys but Pakistan hit back late.
Babar Azam scored a very good century and is not out at stumps. Eight wickets for us to take tomorrow!

At the end of lunch, Mitchell Starc promised this young fan he’d give him his boots if we took nine wickets by the end of the day.
We did, and Starcy delivered on his promise! ❤️

Congratulations to Ajinkya Rahane, the inaugural winner of the Mullagh Medal!
The Boxing Day Test Player of the Match medal has been named in honour of trailblazing Indigenous cricketer Johnny Mullagh (Unaarrimin).
This young woman just hit the highest ever individual score in an ODI World Cup final (170), overtaking Adam Gilchrist's 149 against Sri Lanka back in 2007.
Take a bow,
