Police expect to charge a cape-wearing Melbourne man who has invaded the MCG pitch for the second time in two months.
The 24-year-old, from Sunshine, ran onto the pitch before the final match of the 2015 ICC World Cup between Australia and New Zealand on Sunday, calling for the closure of offshore detention centres.
He was wearing a shirt bearing the slogan "I [Heart] Refugees" and a cape with the words "End Offshore Detention".
The same man also ran onto the field at the Australia versus England match in February.
A Victoria Police spokesman said the man had been arrested and was likely to be charged with enter field of play, on summons.
