IND vs AUS: Pat Cummins on Rishabh Pant's influence on Team India

Australian captain Pat Cummins acknowledged that Rishabh Pant has been a "major influence" in India's back-to-back Test series wins Down Under, stressing the need to keep the flamboyant wicketkeeper-batter "quiet" in the upcoming five-Test series later this year. A key figure in India's historic Test triumphs in 2018-19 and 2020-21, the 26-year-old Pant made a stunning comeback from a horrific car accident in December 2022, scoring a second innings century in the first Test against Bangladesh last week. "He's someone that has a big influence in a couple of series and we have got to try and keep him quiet," Cummins said on Star Sports. Known for his unorthodox shots, including the reverse and one-handed flicks, Pant has made significant contributions in the last two Test series against Australia. In 12 innings, he has amassed 624 runs at an impressive average of 62.40, with a top score of 159 not out. His unbeaten 89 in the second innings at the Gabba in 2021 not only handed Austra

ENG vs AUS 2nd ODI: Carey help Australia beat England by 68 runs to 2-0 up

Australia secured a second big victory over England in their ODI series, winning by 68 runs after Alex Carey's dashing 74 off 67 balls and an impressive bowling display sparked by the tourists' returning senior pacers. It was a 14th straight ODI win for the world champion Australians, who moved into a 2-0 lead in a five-match series that has underlined the chasm that has grown between the fierce rivals in the 50-over format. Yet Australia, which won the first ODI by seven wickets on Thursday, was struggling to get past 200 at Headingley after being put into bat, with captain Mitchell Marsh (60 off 59 balls) the only top-order batter to hit a half-century. Travis Head, coming off a career-best 154 not out two days ago, made 29 before being the first of three wickets for fast bowler Brydon Carse (3-75). Steve Smith was out for 4, Marnus Labuschagne for 19 and Glenn Maxwell for 7 as Australia labored. However, Carey dominated the batting in the tail and provided a late flourish for ..

England draw T20I series with Australia after Old Trafford washout

England's T20I series decider against Australia was washed out Sunday without a ball being bowled at Old Trafford. The series finished tied 1-1. The forecast never looked likely to allow for any meaningful play to take place in the third T20I and the umpires finally called the abandonment at 4:20 p.m. local time, almost two hours after the scheduled start. Australia won the series opener by 28 runs at Southampton before England leveled the series with a three-wicket win at Cardiff. The first of five one-day internationals between the teams starts Thursday at Trent Bridge. Harry Brook, a 25-year-old batter, is set to captain England for the first time in the series after Jos Buttler's persistent calf injury saw him ruled out.

Bairstow and Ali left out of England white-ball squads for Australia series

Wicketkeeper-batter Jonny Bairstow and spinner Moeen Ali may have played their last games for England after being dropped Monday in a shakeup of the white-ball squads to face Australia. England and Australia will play three T20 internationals starting Sept. 11 at Southampton followed by five ODI games. Matthew Mott was fired as head coach of the limited-overs side last month after disappointing title defenses in the ODI and T20 World Cups and the appetite for change has continued with the removal of two senior players sharing more than 400 caps for the forthcoming series against Australia. Five uncapped players have been called up for Marcus Trescothick's first assignment as interim coach, with left-arm seamer Josh Hull, allrounder Jacob Bethell and pace bowler John Turner selected in both formats, while Dan Mousley and Jordan Cox come into the T20 squad. Moeen has been an influential vice-captain to Jos Buttler in recent times but is now 37 and has acknowledged in the past that

Border Gavaskar Trophy on par with Ashes for Australia: Mitchell Starc

Australia pace ace Mitchell Starc believes that with the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India becoming a five-Test affair for the first time in over three decades, it would be "right on par" with the esteemed Ashes series for his team. The marquee series between India and Australia, set to begin in November, was extended by a match this year for the first time since the 1991-92 season. "Being five matches now it's probably right on par with an Ashes series," Starc told Wide World of Sports. Since 2014-15, Australia have failed to lay their hands on the Border Gavsakar Trophy, with India winning four consecutive series including the historic triumphs Down Under in 2018-19 and 2020-21. Starc is not only intent on reversing this trend but also harbours aspirations of a clean sweep, particularly as the series forms a crucial part of the World Test Championship. "We always want to win every game at home and we know India are a very strong team," he said. Currently, India lead
