Ramkumar Ramanathan was on Sunday named in a five-member squad for the grass court challenge against Pakistan -- a clear sign that an Indian Davis Cup side is preparing to play on Pakistan soil for the first time in 60 years even as AITA awaits ITF tribunal's decision on its appeal against travel to neighbouring nation on security concerns. India last travelled to Pakistan way back in 1964 when they beat the hosts 4-0.
Australia off-spinner Nathan Lyon has become the eighth man to take 500 Test wickets after reaching the major milestone against Pakistan.
Australia's veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon was still in a state of disbelief after completing 500 Test wickets during their thumping 360-run victory over Pakistan on Sunday in the first Test of the three-match series. The 35-year-old walked into his first Test for Australia after picking up an injury during the Ashes earlier this year. He entered the Optus Stadium just four wickets shy of the 500-wicket landmark. In the first session, he scalped three, needing just one wicket in the second session to reach the remarkable feat. With Australia pacers removing Pakistan batters at a brisk pace, it seemed as if Lyon would have to wait for another Test to pick his 500th Test wicket.
India moved up to the top spot of the World Test Championship (WTC) points table after Pakistan slumped to a 360-run loss against Australia in the first Test match in Perth on Sunday. Following the result, India and Pakistan are joint top of the table with a similar PCT (percentage of points) of 66.67 per cent. Pakistan went into the game with a perfect 100 per cent PCT but the loss meant that although they have 24 points, they share the top spot in the table with India who have 16 points after 2 matches. Pakistan have won two and lost one game in the World Test Championship till now while India have won one and drawn one Test match.
PERTH : Nathan Lyon joined the illustrious 500-wicket club on Sunday, picking up 2-18 on a seam-friendly Perth Stadium surface to help Australia bowl Pakistan out for 89 and cruise to a 360-run victory on day four of the first test.

Australian off-spinner Nathan Lyon bagged the 500th Test wicket of his career on Sunday as he dismissed Pakistan's Faheem Ashraf in the first Test at Perth to join a 'legendary club' of just seven others to achieve the feat. The 36-year-old veteran, whose longevity is partly due to having not played international white-ball cricket since 2019, reached the milestone in his 123rd match. Among Australia, Lyon is only the third cricketer to reach the milestone, with the icons like Shane Warne (708) and Glenn McGrath (563) being the others.
