International test cricket will return to Darwin in August after more than two decades, featuring Australia against Bangladesh at Marrara Stadium, as part of a multi-match agreement between Cricket Australia, NT Cricket and the NT Government.
In addition to the August test match, the deal also includes two T20 International games scheduled for 2027.
The silence by the NT Government on how much tax payers dollars have been used to get a test match to Darwin in August 2026 is deafening.
