England is reportedly set to oppose the inclusion of day-night, pink-ball Tests in future Ashes series against Australia, despite broadcasters favoring the format. This stance follows England's recent heavy defeat in a day-night Test in Brisbane. While both cricket boards are exploring ways to enhance the Ashes' appeal, England has signaled a preference for traditional red-ball matches. An exception exists for a one-off day-night Test scheduled for March 2027 in Melbourne to commemorate 150 years of Test cricket.
