The BGT is now considered one of cricket’s most iconic rivalries, comparable to the historic Ashes series between Australia and England. There is a tough competition between both the countries (India and Australia) for this prestigious trophy, making this series a special festival for cricket fans. Australian fast bowler Mitchell Starc explained the importance of BGT and said that this series is as important as the Ashes for Australian cricketers and fans. Starc said- “For Australian cricket, the Border-Gavaskar Trophy comes after the Ashes in importance. The Ashes have a long history, but the Border-Gavaskar rivalry is getting stronger with every series. Now it is being seen as a five-Test series, which is great for both the rivalry and Test cricket.” Pat Cummins’ confidence Australian captain Pat Cummins also acknowledged the importance of this upcoming series and said that his team is ready to avenge the previous defeat. Cummins said- “We have lost to India in Australia in the last two series, so now it is time for us to prove ourselves. We have won against them many times, and we will get confidence from those wins.” World Test Championship and BGT The importance of the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series also increases due to the fact that both the teams are at the top of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table. 60 crucial points will be at stake in this series, which can prove to be decisive for the teams reaching the WTC final. Which two teams will face each other in the WTC final to be held at Lord’s in 2025 will depend on the result of this series.
Former coach wants to see Steve Smith at number-4 in BGT 2024-25, said- “This is the right position for him…”
I think he is best suited to bat at number four for the Australian cricket team – Justin Langer Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) After David Warner’s retirement from the Test format, Steve Smith expressed his desire to open and the management backed him and gave him that position. But Smith has not been able to show anything special in the opening position so far. He scored 91 runs in the Gaba Test against West Indies, which is his first fifty-plus score in four innings while opening. Smith’s average as an opener in Tests is 28.50, which is much less than his 56.97 in this format. Meanwhile, former Australia head coach Justin Langer feels that Steve Smith should return to number four in the next Test series, which is against India. He has said that the experienced batsman will definitely improve as an opener, but Smith will do better at number four. Smith’s opening partner Usman Khawaja also feels that the veteran should bat at number four. Steve Smith can bat at any number: Justin Langer Speaking on the Cricket et al podcast, Justin Langer said, He is our greatest player, great players adapt to conditions, they can bat at any position. I think he is best suited to bat at number four for the Australian cricket team. Justin Langer further said, I think it is a specialised position (No. 4). It is not that he cannot do it (open the batting). I would love to see him bat at No. 4, but then they have to work out who will not play. I think it was about trying to bring Cameron Green up. Australia is scheduled to play a five-match Test series against India under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy from November. The Kangaroo team had to face a 2-1 defeat in the last two Test series against India at home. The team is desperate to give a crushing defeat to Rohit Sharma and company in the upcoming series. Skipper Pat Cummins has already confirmed that he will back all-rounders in the five-match series and if he wants to keep both Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh in the team, Smith will remain in the playing XI as an opener.

This is a trophy I have never won before- Pat Cummins Pat Cummins, while talking on Fox Cricket, said, This is a trophy I have never won before… It is a trophy that not many players in our group have won. We have achieved some amazing things over the last few years as a Test group. You back yourself to win every series at home. I think you need to try. That is the biggest challenge for us this summer. They are a really good team. We have played them a lot, we know them well and we are in a good position right now. Never regret a break: Cummins Pat Cummins will not be seen playing in the Scotland and England tour. The fast bowler says that he will return refreshed after the break, which will also help his game. Anyone who comes back after a break is a little refreshed. You never regret it. I have been bowling without a break for almost 18 months since the World Test Championship. This will give me a 7 or 8 week break from bowling completely and my body will also recover.

Australia’s master plan to eliminate India from WTC race- Big revelation about Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins has decided to play for San Francisco Unicorns in the second edition of Major League Cricket (MLC). Pat Cummins & Nathan Lyon (Photo Source: Getty Images) Pat Cummins was expected to take a break from cricket after the T20 World Cup and keeping this in mind, Australia did not include the fast bowler’s name in the squad for the series against England and Scotland. In such a situation, Cummins has decided to play for San Francisco Unicorns in the second edition of Major League Cricket (MLC). This decision does not match the plans of team selector George Bailey. Speaking about this, Australia’s chief selector confirmed that Cummins’ inclusion in the MLC is a special thing and he believes that playing a few extra days will not harm his cricket. What does George Bailey have to say on this decision of Pat Cummins? George Bailey believes the last 12 months have been tough for the Australia captain, as he played all the matches in the Ashes and then the ODI World Cup, IPL and T20 World Cup. After the MLC, Bailey hopes Cummins will take a break and prepare for the summer, in which India will tour Australia for a five-match series, which could decide the fate of the World Test Championship final. “Whatever decisions are being taken regarding Pat Cummins, we have been planning for it for about 12 months. It is very important for our leader to be mentally fit for the series we are giving priority to. We have no problem with him playing in the MLC League and there is no change in our plan either. It is just a matter of 18-20 days, then the captain and the team will work according to the plan made” Let us tell you that, here Bailey is talking about the series against India. He says that as per the team plan, Pat Cummins is being given rest and he will return during the India tour.

(Photo by Morne de Klerk/Getty Images) The fast bowler was the talk of the town ever since Kolkata Knight Riders signed Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. He did not have a good start to the tournament, which added more pressure on him. But Starc never cared about the criticism. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad signed Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore, which was also criticised as he was earning much more than the top Indian players. Now speaking openly about the salary and the trolling he faced, Starc said that he laughed it off as both the players played the final. Starc proved to be a big match player, leading KKR to success in Qualifier 1 and the final, and played a key role in helping the team win the trophy. While Cummins led by example as Hyderabad reached the final for the first time in six years. Now talking about the same, Starc joked about how people were saying why so much money was spent on them and we both were playing in the final. Mitchell Starc gave a statement on the trolling happening regarding IPL salary “I laughed. The first game of the IPL, we played against Hyderabad. Pat Cummins and I both got paid a lot of money. When we played the first game, it was a bit funny. It just so happened that we ended up playing against each other in the final nine weeks later. Suddenly everything changed for both of us. We were laughing about why we were paid so much, then we started thinking that well we got paid to play in the final. Isn’t it funny?” “After that, when the KKR player saw the cheque after the team won, it was Rs 20 crore. He immediately said, you have received a salary higher than this.”
“He came three days before the IPL started… I was shocked that…” – Nitish Reddy said about Cummins
Pat Cummins performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. The SRH team managed to reach the final this season, where they had to face defeat at the hands of KKR. Although all the players of SRH performed well this season, but one player who impressed everyone with his performance was Nitish Kumar Reddy. His brilliant performance in the IPL 2024 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad caught the attention of the BCCI selectors. After this, he was included in Team India for the first time for the Zimbabwe tour. However, fate had something else in store and he was ruled out of IPL 2024 due to a hernia injury. In this way, the wait for his debut for India increased further. Nitish Reddy made a big statement about Pat Cummins Meanwhile, during a recent interview, Nitish Reddy talked about playing under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. In an interview with News18 CricketNext, Nitish Reddy said that, Pat joined just three days before the IPL. Meanwhile, I did well in the practice games and the coach was really impressed. But I wanted the captain to know. I said, ‘Does he know how I play and how I see the game?’ But when he joined, he said, ‘Nitish, you are playing very well.” The all-rounder was surprised to learn that Cummins had watched his batting videos on YouTube. The Australian captain’s move boosted Reddy’s confidence immensely and strengthened his belief in his own abilities. The young all-rounder further added, “I was kind of shocked that how did he know about my batting? He didn’t see me in the practice sessions, so I asked him about it, and he said that he saw my batting videos on YouTube and appreciated my talent. So this is really a kind of encouragement for me.”
