Australian PM hosts teams at New Year’s reception ahead of Ashes Test, honoring Jane McGrath Day with pink-themed charity event.
Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese hosted the Australian and England cricket teams at a New Year’s Day reception ahead of the fifth Ashes Test at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
The event, held at Kirribilli House, highlighted Jane McGrath Day, a fundraiser for the McGrath Foundation, founded by former Australian bowler Glenn McGrath in memory of his late wife.
With Australia leading the series 3-1 and having secured the Ashes, England aimed for a competitive finish after a recent win at the MCG, including milestones like Joe Root’s first Test century in Australia and Josh Tongue’s five-wicket haul.
Both teams and officials emphasized the event’s charitable focus, with fans expected to wear pink and the SCG set to host record crowds.
