BRISBANE, June 02 (AFP): The Gabba has been locked in to host Australia's opening Test of the 2021-22 Ashes series against England after a major upgrade to the stadium was announced.
The ground, where Australia haven't lost a Test since 1988, the longest active streak in world cricket, was overlooked for the first Test against India last summer.
It was instead played in Adelaide, and Australia lost, with players urging a return to Brisbane to kick off future home series.
