What they said about the Women’s Ashes series
Cricket Australia head of cricket operations and scheduling Peter Roach:
“What we’re looking to do is to really keep pushing to get our women (playing) on the major venues where possible,” Roach said.
“This is an opportunity against England just to keep that momentum going and challenge ourselves to grow crowds above what the expectations are around the community.
“We know we’re going to get great support from the MCC and the Victorian Government around this match and we will expect fans to be really supportive of coming along to that game … and it will hopefully be a fitting conclusion to a tight series.”
