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.

This will give me a 7 or 8 week break from bowling completely and my body will also recover.

Talking to ESPNcricinfo, Josh Hazlewood said, ‘There are some players who have never defeated India in a Test series. It is quite surprising to hear this. We could have won the series at home. Not only this, we would definitely like to win the upcoming series. In the last series, we bowled them out for 36 runs in Adelaide. People were saying that we were playing against India B team in the last Test but they are also sometimes stronger than our best team. Their depth is truly incredible irrespective of the format. Australia is at second place in the World Test Championship points table Let us tell you, Australia is currently at the second position in the World Test Championship points table. Josh Hazlewood said that even though he could not participate in the final of last season due to injury, the experienced players would definitely want to leave their mark in the final of the upcoming season. Josh Hazlewood said, ‘It always goes on in the background. We are very high up in the points table and I am confident that we will definitely make it to the finals this season.

I am planning on playing all 5 matches.” What does Ricky Ponting predict about the Border Gavaskar Trophy? “The 5 Test match series is going to start once again, which is a matter of joy. In the last few years, only 4 Test matches were played. So everyone is excited. It is not known whether the number of drawn matches will increase or not.

It’s just a situation for me so it doesn’t really bother me too much – Steve Smith Steve Smith (Photo Source: X/Twitter) Team India is going to tour Australia in November for a five-match Test series under the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Australian team had to face a 2-1 defeat in the last two Test series against India at home. In the upcoming series, the team would like to give a crushing defeat to Rohit Sharma and company. Meanwhile, questions remain about veteran batsman Steve Smith’s opening. After David Warner’s retirement, Smith had expressed his desire to open in Tests and the management backed him and gave him that position. But now Steve Smith has not been able to show anything special in the opening position. He played an innings of 91 runs in the Gaba Test against West Indies, which is his first fifty-plus score in four innings while opening. I am not upset in any way- Steve Smith Australian batsman Steve Smith says that he just wants to score runs for the team in the home Test series against India and is not too worried about his batting position. Steve Smith said while talking on Code Sports, You’ll have to ask the men in charge but I’m not upset in any way. There’s some challenging conditions with the new ball. So I would love to score a few more runs. Sometimes that’s how it is, but I played quite well in the second innings at the Gabba where unfortunately we couldn’t get the win. It’s just a situation for me so it doesn’t really bother me too much. Smith wants to play IPL again Steve Smith has expressed his disappointment over not being included in the Australian squad for the T20 World Cup 2024. Smith has also expressed his desire to play in the IPL again. I don’t know about international T20. You’ll have to ask the selectors. I was disappointed not to be in the World Cup but that’s the way things go. They all want big hitters. I would definitely love to be part of the IPL again. So just keep scoring runs, you never know anything can happen.
“Is he not even a candidate for Test captaincy?”- Former cricketer raises questions on Pant not getting the captaincy in Duleep Trophy
Rishabh Pant (Photo Source: Getty Images) The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) announced four teams for the Duleep Trophy 2024 on Wednesday, August 14. Apart from Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Jasprit Bumrah, all senior cricketers including Ravindra Jadeja, KL Rahul, Rishabh Pant and Suryakumar Yadav will take part in the tournament. However, none of these senior cricketers have been named as captains. Shubman Gill, Abhimanyu Easwaran, Ruturaj Gaikwad and Shreyas Iyer have been handed the captaincy for the Duleep Trophy 2024. Former cricketer Aakash Chopra was particularly surprised by Pant not being named captain of any team. Pant will play under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran in this tournament, which is fine according to Chopra, but given Pant’s impact in red-ball cricket, he expects the 26-year-old to be in the race to become India’s captain in the coming days. Aakash Chopra made a big statement on Rishabh Pant becoming the captain In a video uploaded on his YouTube channel, Aakash Chopra said, “Rishabh Pant is not the captain. He has been selected in Abhimanyu Easwaran’s team. He is playing under the captaincy of Abhimanyu Easwaran, which is absolutely fine. However, is Rishabh Pant not a candidate for Test captaincy as well? I am a little surprised.” The former cricketer further said, “I personally do not agree with this because you have seen the best form of Rishabh Pant as a Test cricketer. He is the only wicketkeeper in the history of Indian cricket to have scored centuries in South Africa, England and Australia in Tests. He said, “Shubman Gill, Ruturaj Gaikwad, Shreyas Iyer and even Abhimanyu Easwaran are captains, but Pant is not the captain and in my opinion this is a big deal.” Let us tell you that Pant will play his first red-ball match after suffering multiple injuries following a car accident in December 2022. He is in the scheme of things for the upcoming Bangladesh Tests and the Duleep Trophy will be the perfect opportunity for him to prove his potential.
