PM's XI Moves from Canberra to Melbourne | Australia News

The Prime Minister’s XI cricket match is relocating from Canberra to Melbourne for the first time in 75 years, set for March 4-6 as part of a special cricket festival ahead of the historic 150th Anniversary Test against England. England’s request for a closer training ground near the MCG is driving the move, which Cricket Australia insists is temporary — aimed at boosting player preparation and reinvigorating the fixture’s profile. While Canberra fans may feel the loss, the ACT’s representation in the squad remains intact, and Prime Minister Albanese’s office supports the decision to prioritize the landmark Ashes series and the anniversary Test.
