Summer 2021–22 HISTORY The Ashes and International Series Adelaide Oval Official Hospitality Group Tickets Travel Packages WELCOME TO THE SUMMER OF CRICKET WELCOME The moment has arrived. The Ashes. There is no greater rivalry in world cricket. And we can’t wait to take on the old enemy once again, this time on our home turf. This is what playing for Australia is all about. We are privileged to represent our country and do our best to make Australians proud. A home Ashes Series takes it to another level. England will be smarting, and they will be ready. We know they have spent the past two years plotting their revenge from the day we retained the urn at Old Trafford. We too are ready and will leave no stone unturned to keep the Ashes. Our plan is to play attacking cricket and, given the talent in both sides, I am sure England will do the same. One thing I am also very privileged to do this summer is lead the team onto my home ground for the first time in the historic first Test against Afghanistan. There will be no greater honour in my cricketing career than to wear a baggy green for the first time at Blundstone Arena. After the Ashes, Finchy will lead our men in the white ball series against New Zealand and Sri Lanka. Like me, Finchy is deeply honoured to lead his country and incredibly passionate about making all Australians proud. Those games will be amazing contests in another World Cup year. In our time as captains we have worked very hard to restore the country’s faith in this team and I think we have gone a long way to doing that. Results aside, doing our very best on and off the field as players and people with integrity, honesty and humility is our priority. Ultimately, we want to inspire young boys and girls to play and love the game. We represent them every time we put on an Australian cap. Just as our predecessors did for us. The support of you our sponsors, broadcast and corporate partners, hospitality guests and fans are very special to this team. We deeply appreciate all of those involved in making this game great. As we slowly emerge from the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, hopefully you will be able to enjoy all that CA’s corporate facilities have to offer and watch two of the fiercest rivals in world sport go ‘head to head’. Have a great summer. We promise to make you proud.
