Cricket Australia is poised to introduce a dedicated Pakistan Fan Zone situated outside Gate 4 of the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) during the upcoming Boxing Test between Pakistan and Australia. 

In this unique initiative, woven cots (Char Pai's) will be thoughtfully arranged for fans to comfortably immerse themselves in the game within a traditional setting adjacent to the MCG. Over the three-day activation, attendees will have the opportunity to relax and enjoy the cricketing action.

To enhance the fan experience, a fan-walk is scheduled for the opening day of the Test, allowing enthusiasts to engage in a special procession to kick off the cricket festivities. Adding a touch of nostalgia, a tape ball cricket match, reminiscent of traditional street cricket, is also on the agenda, promising a delightful and authentic cricketing experience.

The entertainment lineup for the event reaches its peak with a live performance by the talented Faisal Amlani on the morning of day one, creating an electrifying atmosphere just moments before the commencement of the first ball being bowled.
