“Darwin’s dry season, from May to September, offers both the Northern Territory and Australian cricket an incredible opportunity to play the game year-round.”
“Hosting these matches—especially one at Marrara Stadium—adds significant status to the series in the lead-up to the 2025–26 international season.”
