Following one of the biggest summers in Tasmanian cricket history, Cricket Australia in conjunction with Cricket Tasmania can announce there will be two international matches at Ninja Stadium next summer.
Two huge matches between Australia and India across both the men’s and women’s competition, as Tasmania hosts a Men’s T20 international against India on Sunday November 2, 2025 and a Women’s One Day International on Friday 27 February, 2026.
With the pinnacle of world cricket, the Men’s Ashes returning to our shores later this year in Adelaide, Brisbane, Melbourne, Perth and Sydney, Australia’s match against India will be a great launch to what is shaping up to be a huge Australian summer.
The Men’s T20 against India will feature several Hobart Hurricanes players and will be the first opportunity to see them play on Ninja Stadium following the BBL|14 championship in January where history was made as Tasmania watched on as the Hurricanes won their first title.
Later in the summer, the world beating Australian Women’s team return in February for another One Day International after the success of the Stadium Series during the Women’s Ashes.
This Day/Night match at Ninja Stadium gives Tasmanians a chance to watch the best in world cricket right on our doorstep.
Cricket Tasmania CEO Dominic Baker is pleased to see such great cricket content being played in our state again this summer.
“The rivalry between Australia and India is arguably just as important as the rivalry in the Ashes, and to have world class cricket being played in our state gives young cricketers something to aspire to.
“We look forward to hosting these two matches at Ninja Stadium, and I am confident we will see a bumper crowd as Tasmania has a chance to see Hurricanes favourites Nathan Ellis and Tim David representing their country with pride,” stated Baker.
Details on when tickets will be on sale will be communicated to the public when the information becomes available.
