Ashes down under: First since 1982 - Why Gabba will not host first Test of series?
The Ashes series opener moves from Brisbane's Gabba for the first time since 1982, with Perth Stadium hosting the first Test. This shift, driven by commercial decisions and scheduling, marks a departure from the Gabba's historical dominance, especially against England. The series will then proceed to Brisbane for a day-night Test.
