England Test captain Ben Stokes called for ticket prices to be made cheaper earlier this month in an interview with Telegraph Sport.

He said: “Just make it a bit cheaper for people to come and watch. Pretty easy solution in my eyes.”

Following the Test against Sri Lanka, MCC said the club would review their pricing policies for the fourth day of Test matches going forward.

“We will be paying particular attention to the structure of fourth-day tickets in our pricing reviews given the way that Test cricket is now being played,” Guy Lavender, the chief executive and secretary of MCC, said in a statement.

For the fourth day against India next year, tickets for under-16s cost £25. For adults, restricted view tickets begin at £50, but tickets with a full view cost £90-£150.

MCC argue that the prices reflect the attraction of the opposition, with India now established as the second-biggest draw after Australia. The top-priced tickets for the India Test are £5 more expensive than those against Australia in the 2023 Ashes, a below-inflation increase. 

Lord’s is also hosting the World Test Championship final, which begins on June 11, with India and Australia currently on course to qualify for the match. Adult tickets are priced at £70 for seats with a restricted view, rising to £130.
