'Green and gold' kit for 150th Anniversary Test revealed

Australia will wear a one-off special edition of their Test whites featuring green and gold for the 150th Anniversary Test against England at the MCG next March.

Revealed today – to coincide with 150 days to go until the Test begins on March 11 – the kit replaces the golden wattle trimmings with gold, while a green placket has been introduced.

The golden trim will adorn the collar, and piping along the side seams of the shirt and pants, as well as gold buttons.

In photos released today, the kit also features the anniversary Test logo in gold on the sleeve, as well as the logo of kit manufacturer Asics.

A statement from Cricket Australia today explained the use of gold "symbolises the legacy, achievement and enduring excellence of Test cricket".

The designers also "wanted to highlight the prestige, significance and once-in-a-generation nature of the occasion, while preserving the heritage and timeless identity of Australia's iconic Test uniform" CA said.

CA's chief commercial officer Ed Sanders added: "It is only on the most significant occasions that we tailor special uniforms for our teams, and we would like to thank Asics for producing a uniform that honours 150 years of Test cricket through the gold integration."

The kit is otherwise unchanged from the version worn by Australia's men in Tests since release in the 2025-26 summer, with Indigenous artwork from renowned Aboriginal artist Aunty Fiona Clarke featured on the shoulders.

The artwork, titled 'Land & Sea' incorporates the Walkabout Wickets motif and is an extension of the tribute to Australia's first ever touring cricket team, the 1868 Aboriginal XI that travelled to England.

All public tickets have been sold for the first three days of the 150th Anniversary Test – to be played as a day-night match with the pink ball.

It will be the first time Australia has played Test cricket at home in March since they hosted Pakistan for two Tests in 1979.

The Test will be the crowning spectacle of the Australian summer, coming amid a crowded schedule for Pat Cummins' men that has them playing up to 21 Tests in a 12 month period that began in August.

Australia – currently in the opening Test of a three-match series in South Africa, will host New Zealand for four Tests at home over the peak summer period before heading to India for a five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy series before returning for the 150th Anniversary Test.

Australia then face a possible World Test Championship final in the UK before a five-Test Ashes series.
