England will play a two-day match against a Chairman's Xi in Alice Springs between the first and second tests on their Ashes tour of Australia later in the not so distant future, Cricket Australia affirmed on Tuesday.
The match, initially booked for Canberra, will happen on Nov. 29-30 with the England group venturing out to and from the Northern Territories by uniquely organized straight flights.
It will be the first match in the town for the full England side, granted that an England An installation is around a handful of worldwide installations formerly played at Traeger Park.
The final touring side to play in Alice was a West Indies group advanced by Jimmy Adams, who beat a Northern Territory Invitation Xi by 57 runs in 2000.
"It's been 13 years since Traeger Park had a global cricket group and I'm pleased this dry spell will now be softened up November," Northern Territory Minister for Sport, Recreation and Tourism Matt Conlan said.
"We'll be urging England supporters to make the excursion to Alice Springs for the diversion, and Tourism Nt will utilize the introduction of the town to push the Territory as an occasion objective in one of our nexus global markets, the United Kingdom."
Arranged in the geographic focus of Australia, Alice Springs is a town of 25,000 individuals and has the yearly Imparja Cup cricket competition which draws in indigenous groups from around the nation.
Canberra was unable to have the match in light of the fact that the Manuka Oval ground will be experiencing refinishing work around then.
"At the time we were educated that Canberra would be unable to have in the not so distant future Chairman's Xi apparatus, we needed to carry the match to a famous part of Australia," said Cricket Australia's Andrew Ingleton.
