Yashasvi Jaiswal & Brad Haddin (Photo Source: The five-match Test series between India and Australia is starting from November 22, the first match between the two teams will be played in Perth. Team India is touring Australia after a 3-0 defeat in the last Test series against New Zealand. The performance of the batsmen at home against New Zealand has been disappointing, which is a matter of concern. Meanwhile, the former Australian player has warned Team India before the start of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Haddin says that Indian batsmen will not be able to face Australia’s fast bowlers, especially Yashasvi Jaiswal. Brad Haddin said this about Yashvi Jaiswal Brad Haddin says that Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal is definitely a good player, but he has not toured Australia before so things will be difficult for him. Let us tell you, Yashasvi is the second batsman to score the most runs in the World Test Championship cycle. He has scored 1407 runs for India in 26 innings, which includes two double centuries. According to Times of India, Brad Haddin while speaking on LisTNR Sport Podcast said, I don’t think Indian batsmen will be able to face our fast bowlers. I know Jaiswal is a really good player, but he hasn’t toured Australia before, so I’m not sure whether he can handle the bounce or not. Opening in Perth is a tough job. India has won the last two Test series in Australia 2-1. The team would like to repeat history this time too, because the team can reach the final of the World Test Championship only by winning four of the upcoming five-match Test series. On the other hand, Australia is keen to defeat India in a Test series for the first time since 2014-15. Take a look at India’s squad for BGT 2024-25- Rohit Sharma (captain), Jasprit Bumrah (vice-captain), Yashasvi Jaiswal, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Shubman Gill, Virat Kohli, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant (wicketkeeper), Sarfaraz Khan, Dhruv Jurel (wicketkeeper), Ravichandran Ashwin, Ravindra Jadeja, Mohammed Siraj, Akash Deep, Prasidh Krishna, Harshit Rana, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Washington Sundar
Ian Healy gave a surprising statement regarding Jake Fraser-McGurk, the aggressive opening batsman gave a befitting reply to the former player
Australia team is currently playing a three-match ODI series against Pakistan. Jake Fraser-McGurk (Image Credit- Twitter Australia’s explosive opening batsman Jake Fraser-McGurk’s aggressive batting style was heavily criticized by former player Ian Healy. Let us tell you that Jake Fraser-McGurk has batted brilliantly in domestic cricket so far but the young player has not been able to leave his mark in international cricket. Australia team is currently playing a three-match ODI series against Pakistan. The first ODI between these two teams was played at the Melbourne Cricket Ground in Melbourne in which Jake Fraser-McGurk scored only 16 runs. Ian Healy has criticized the batting approach of Jake Fraser-McGurk and Matthew Short and compared their batting to ‘schoolyard bullies’. Ian Healy told SEN: ‘The arrogance of the Australian players could not keep them ahead even for half an hour in the match. They are watching it like schoolyard cricket. The shot selection was very poor and both the openers played like ‘schoolyard bullies’. The investment the cricket board has made in them is looking very bad as both the players have batted disappointingly so far. We have been chosen to give an attacking start: Jake Fraser-McGurk Regarding Healy’s statement, Jake Fraser-McGurk said, ‘I don’t think so. The game is changing very quickly and if we start with a bang in the first 10 overs, the team can reach big scores. If we give a good start to the team, then the batsmen in the middle order will also get a lot of help and we can score big. I and Short can come on the field and play cricket in our own way and that is why we have been selected. We have got a place in the team so that we can give an aggressive start and put pressure on the bowlers of the opposing team. This is our plan as well as that of the team. Whatever way the management expects us to bat, we can show them the same performance.

(Photo Source: Getty Images) Recently, the best opener Prithvi Shaw has been dropped from the Mumbai team before the third round of Ranji Trophy 2024-25 season. Let us tell you that in the third round of this important tournament, Mumbai team has to play a great match against Tripura. However, Prithvi Shaw has been dropped from the Mumbai team due to having more than 35% body fat. Former player Sunil Gavaskar presented his side regarding this. Sunil Gavaskar said that if he has been dropped due to indiscipline then it is understandable. However, the former India opener also said that the reason behind Prithvi Shaw’s exclusion from the team was his weight and size. Sunil Gavaskar wrote on his Mid Day column, ‘If we talk about domestic matches, defending Ranji Trophy winner Mumbai has dropped Prithvi Shaw from its team. Different reports are coming out regarding him. If it is a matter of indiscipline then I have no problem with it but it has nothing to do with his weight. A report is also coming out that Prithvi Shaw’s body fat is more than 35%. You can also see Sarfaraz Khan: Sunil Gavaskar Giving the example of Sarfaraz Khan, Sunil Gavaskar said, ‘Sarfaraz Khan batted brilliantly and scored 150 runs in the first Test match played in Bengaluru. He also weighs a lot but despite that the young batsman batted the whole day and scored 150 runs. By the way, how many players are there with zero percent or minimum body fat who have scored 379 runs like Prithvi Shaw? I want to ask you this question. I would like to end my talk through fitness. Let us tell you that Prithvi Shaw has always performed well in Indian domestic cricket but he has failed to leave his mark at the international level. The best batsmen may not have been able to perform well in the Indian Premier League 2024, but now they can be seen playing an important role in the 2025 season.

“This is the perfect time to give him a chance” – Watson tells 19-year-old boy to be Khawaja’s opening partner for BGT
The five-match Test series between India and Australia will start from November 22. Shane Watson & Sam Konstas. (Source: X/Twitter) The Australian team has to play a five-match Test series against India later this year (November-December). Before this series, the biggest question for the Australian team is, who will be their opener in these five test matches. After the retirement of David Warner, in Test cricket, Australia decided to get Steve Smith to open in some matches, which did not prove to be that effective. Before the start of BGT, Australia has made it clear that Steve Smith will play at number four in this series. After this, who will open for him again is a big issue. Meanwhile, former Australian all-rounder Shane Watson has given a big statement. He has described a 19 year old boy as the opening partner of Usman Khawaja. Shane Watson has named young Sam Konstas (Sam Konstas) Supported. Representing New South Wales, the 19-year-old recently scored a double century against South Australia in Sydney and with that in mind, Watson believes Konstas could be the perfect fit to open . Shane Watson made a big statement about young Sam Konstas Watson believes that young players can bring a different aspect to the team and said that with all the veteran players ageing, Cricket Australia should also focus on bringing in new talent. Shane Watson was quoted by AAP as saying, “In my mind, this is the right time to give him a chance in Test cricket. You know bowlers are getting old, Steve Smith and Usman Khawaja are also slowly getting old, so this young player should be given a chance.” He further said, “Obviously he still has a lot of cricket in front of him. But one thing Australian cricket has always done incredibly well was to look at someone who was different from all the young stars coming through and integrate them into the Australian set-up as quickly as possible with reasonable understanding. Also, being able to help them learn.”

Steve Smith’s opening slot in Australia team in danger due to poor performance, know what coach Andrew McDonald said?
Smith has not been able to impress as an opener in the last four Test matches Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Cricket fans are eagerly waiting for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy to start between India and Australia. It is worth noting that this time this series is going to start in Australia from 22 November. Along with this, fans are curious to know whether Steve Smith will be seen opening in this series or not? So, recently the team’s head coach Andrew McDonald has made a big statement regarding Smith’s opening batting position in the Australian Test team. McDonald says that he has not yet reached any final decision, but discussions are going on around it. Andrew McDonald gave a big statement Let us tell you that recently while talking to SEN about Steve Smith’s opening slot in the Australia Test team, Andrew McDonald said – This is the question on everyone’s lips. Although we are keeping an eye on it, we have not taken any concrete decision about it. There is a lot of speculation about it. But it is in discussions, I would be lying if I said there are no talks going on. There is a lot of conversation going on about what will happen in Test cricket in terms of the coming summer. McDonald further said- Obviously, if we make a change with Steve Smith, then someone else will have to go for opening batting. We have seen Cameron Green succeed at number four. There are some layers added to taking such decisions, but at the moment nothing is confirmed and decided. On the other hand, if we talk about Smith’s performance as an opener, in the last four matches he has played, he has scored a total of 171 runs at a modest average of 28.50, which is much less than his career average (56.97). He has been handling this role in the Australian team since David Warner retired.
