Perth Stadium to host Australia and England cricket
WA's brand new stadium confirms Gillette One-Day International between Australia and England
The first sporting event at Perth Stadium has been confirmed in a joint announcement by Cricket Australia, the Western Australian Cricket Association and the Government of Western Australia today.
Cricket fans will be able to witness the christening of the Perth Stadium grounds, as the Gillette One-Day International takes place between Australia and England on Sunday 28 January 2018.
The ODI provides an unforgettable opportunity for cricket fans in WA, as well as the broader national and international cricket community, to experience Perth’s new state-of-the-art stadium.
Cricket Australia CEO James Sutherland said: “It is a great pleasure to be here today in Perth to make this announcement alongside the WA Government and the WACA.
“For Cricket to host the first major sporting event at Perth Stadium is a huge honour for our sport, and given it’s an Australia-England fixture, we are confident that will be able to celebrate history being made with a sold-out stadium.
“Thanks must go to the WA Government, Venues Live and the WACA for working hard to enable this to happen. The stadium is simply state-of-the-art, and a magnificent asset for the state and WA sports fans.
“We very much look forward to bringing the excitement of an Australia-England One-Day International to Perth Stadium on 28 January.”
