Melbourne [Australia], June 17 (ANI): In an effort to bolster enthusiasm for Test cricket, Cricket Australia has announced a new and exciting initiative for fans. Cricketer Scott Boland revealed that fans purchasing tickets for any Test match this season will automatically be entered into a golden ticket lucky draw. This move is part of Cricket Australia's broader strategy to attract more spectators and create a thrilling atmosphere around Test matches this summer.

Cricketer Annabel Sutherland elaborated on the perks awaiting the lucky winners. Six fortunate fans will have their tickets upgraded to a VIP experience. This exclusive package includes a signed bat from the India, Australia and England players, a unique opportunity to meet and interact with the Australian cricketers, and the chance to walk on the pitch - an experience usually reserved for players and officials.

"The excitement for the upcoming season is at its peak," said Sutherland, expressing her enthusiasm for the matches set to begin in September. "It's not just about watching the game; it's about creating unforgettable experiences for our fans."

Scott Boland added to the excitement by highlighting the significance of the Test series against India. "The series against India is always a major event, and we expect it to be a fantastic contest. It's an opportunity to see some of the best cricket action and cheer for our team in a highly competitive environment," he said.

Cricket Australia's Chief Executive, Nick Hockley, described the forthcoming season as a "blockbuster." He emphasized the organization's commitment to making Test cricket more engaging and accessible to fans. "We have already seen a tremendous response in the pre-sale phase, with thousands of tickets snapped up by eager fans. We are confident that the general sale will also see a robust demand," Hockley noted.

The introduction of the lucky draw is seen as a strategic move to enhance the fan experience and encourage more people to attend Test matches. Cricket Australia is keen to replicate the electrifying atmosphere typically associated with limited-overs formats in Test matches as well. By offering unique experiences and rewards, they aim to rejuvenate interest in the longer format of the game.

Nick Hockley also pointed out that this initiative is part of a broader effort to ensure that cricket remains a beloved and accessible sport for all. "We want to create memorable experiences for our fans and ensure that they feel a part of the cricketing community. This lucky draw is just one of the many ways we are trying to achieve that."(ANI)
