"Ruthless Environment...": Ashton Agar On Being Sent Back Home From India Tour

Left-arm spinner Ashton Agar harbours no "ill feeling" after being sent back from the Indian Test tour without a game because he knows it's "ruthless" in top-level cricket. Agar had landed in India as one of the senior spinners in the Australian squad but returned home after not finding a place in the XI for the first two Tests with uncapped off-spinner Todd Murphy and left-armer Matthew Kuhnemann preferred over him. The 29-year-old responded by picking up five wickets for Western Australia in the Marsh Cup final against South Australia.

On Steve Smith vs Pat Cummins Captaincy Debate, Australia Great's Verdict

Australia bagged a nine-wicket victory over India in the third Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, after facing big defeats in the first two matches. The visitors arrived in India with star pacer Pat Cummins leading the pack in the first two Tests. However, Cummins had to fly back home to be with his ailing mother and in his absence, team's vice-captain Steve Smith took over the reign. Smith, who was refrained from the captaincy after he was found guilty in the 2018 'sandpaper gate' incident in South Africa, was recently shown the green signal from the ICC. The batter's stint as a captain turned out to be a blessing for Australia as he guided the visitors to a big win in the third Test.
