New Delhi, Feb 24 (Ians) Seasoned batter Steven Smith will lead Australia in the third Test of the ongoing Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India in Indore as regular skipper Pat Cummins will miss the game to remain home in Sydney due to a family illness.
Cummins flew home following Australia’s defeat in the second-Test in Delhi last week, explaining in a statement that his mother “is ill and in palliative care”.
With a nine-day break between Tests following the three-day finish in the second game, it had been hoped the 29-year-old would return to India for the third Test beginning Wednesday.
But Australia confirmed on Friday that Cummins would miss the Indore Test. They are keeping the door open for him to return for the fourth Test in Ahmedabad, but Smith could end up captaining in both the remaining matches.

New Delhi, Jan 29 (Ians) Former Australia captain Ian Chappell thinks the Indian team will strongly feel Rishabh Pant’s absence from the upcoming four-match series against the Pat Cummins-led side, saying no one can replace the left-handed wicketkeeper-batter’s desire of dominating the bowlers in the longest format of the game.
Pant is currently recovering from multiple injuries after surviving a horrific car accident on December 30. He was initially taken to Saksham Hospital Multispecialty and Trauma Centre, before being admitted to Max Hospital, Dehradun.
On January 4, he was then airlifted to Kokilaben Dhirubhai Ambani Hospital in Andheri West, Mumbai, where he underwent surgery. The nature of his injuries is going to keep him out of cricketing action for a significant period.
In his absence, K.S. Bharat and Ishan Kishan are the wicketkeeping options for India’s first two Tests against Australia for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, to be held...

Melbourne, Nov 7 (Ians) Former Australian allrounder and one of the main critics of Cricket Australia’s (CA) continued indecisiveness to reinstate David Warner’s leadership role, Shane Watson has upped the demand for the top-order batting stalwart to be made the country’s T20 skipper in the wake of the team’s dismal performance in the T20 World Cup at home under Aaron Finch.
Australia’s campaign in the T20 World Cup at home ended prematurely on account of their lacklustre performances and some questionable selection decisions, with New Zealand and England moving into the last-four from Group 1 of the Super 12 stage.
With experts demanding a thorough review of Australia’s debacle, Watson said it’s high time CA lift the leadership role ban on Warner and replace Finch with the batting stalwart.
