A week full of wild swings for the Washington Commanders' pursuit of a stadium in the District of Columbia ended with another twist — and what one person involved called a Hail Mary — that elevates the likelihood of the team returning to the city.
Ahead of the Boxing Day Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), Indian bowlers showed relentless effort at the net practice in Melbourne on Saturday. The series is evenly poised at 1-1 before the Boxing Day Test, set to be played at the iconic Melbourne Cricket Ground on Thursday. Sean Abbott is likely to feature in Australia's playing eleven after Josh Hazlewood's injury which forced him out of BGT squad. Taking to their official X handle, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) shared a clip of the Indian bowlers sweating out at the practice session in Melbourne. Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, Harshit Rana, Akash Deep, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, and Washington Sundar were all their best before the crucial Test match of the series.
Star India all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja on Saturday said lack of runs from the top-order builds pressure on the lower-order and called for an improved performance from the batting unit in the Boxing Day Test. Jadeja played a crucial role in the rain-hit third Test against Australia at Brisbane, scoring a gritty 77 in the first innings to help India secure a draw. "Top-order runs are very important when you play outside India, especially in Australia and South Africa. When the top order doesn't score runs, the responsibility and pressure increase on the lower order," Jadeja said during an interaction at the MCG.
India's top all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja admitted he will "miss" the time that he spent with Ravichandran Ashwin on the field while revealing that he came to know about his compatriot's international retirement just five minutes before the announcement. Jadeja and Ashwin have bowled in tandem to lead India to victories for as long as one can remember. The duo were a force to be reckoned with in Test format, especially on home turf.

ASHBURN, Va. — The Washington Commanders' ability to return to the District of Columbia suffered a critical blow when a provision that would have given the city control of the land was excluded from a spending bill that passed in Congress.
Amidst all the tributes pouring in for Ravichandran Ashwin following his retirement from international cricket, he wished fellow off-spin all-rounder Washington Sundar in a way which seemed like a passing of the baton moment in Indian cricket. On Wednesday, shortly after Ashwin announced his retirement post the third Test at the Gabba ending in a draw, Sundar penned a heartfelt tribute on his social media accounts. “More than just a team mate, you have been an inspiration, Ash anna. It's been an honour to share the field and dressing room with you.”
As Ravichandran Ashwin, one of cricket's most celebrated spinners, left fans and experts shocked by his sudden exit from international cricket, the former Pakistan cricketer Rashid Latif showered huge praise on the India star for his tactical acumen and sharp cricketing brain, saying the 38-year-old has the ability to "take over the BCCI and ICC in future". Ashwin called time on his prolific career at the end of the Gabba Test, which ended in a draw on Wednesday, leaving a rich legacy as one of India's finest match-winners. His last international game was the day-night Test against Australia in Adelaide, where he took 1-53 in his 18 overs and made 29 runs with the bat in the losing cause.
