MELBOURNE : India continued to fret over the composition of their opening pair for the series opener against Australia later this month after KL Rahul and Abhimanyu Easwaran failed to impress in the second unofficial test on Thursday.
Dhruv Jurel showcased his sound technique and cool temperament while wickets fell like ninepins at the other end in another shoddy batting display by India A on the opening day of the second unofficial Test against Australia A at the iconic MCG on Thursday. Jurel (80 off 186 balls), who came to bat in the third over scored nearly half of India A's paltry first innings total of 161 in 57.1 overs with only other batter to cross 20-run mark was Devdutt Padikkal (26).
Drafted to India A's squad ahead of the unofficial 2nd Test against Australia A, star batter KL Rahul could only manage to score 4 runs in the first inning at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. Rahul, who opened the batting for India A in the second official Test, lasted just four balls, hitting a solitary boundary before being removed by pacer Scott Boland, who is part of Australia's squad for the upcoming five-match series against India, starting November 22. Apart from Rahul, Bengal captain Abhimanyu Easwarana, also part of India's Test squad, registered a three-ball duck.
MELBOURNE : All-rounder Marcus Stoinis and spin bowler Ashton Agar have been dropped from Australia's contracts list for the 2024/25 season after falling out of favour with selectors.
Star New Zealand batter Kane Williamson and his wife have been blessed with a baby girl, announced the former Kiwi skipper on Tuesday. Williamson took to Instagram to share the news with everyone. "And then there was 3 Welcome to the world beautiful Girl. So grateful for your safe arrival and the exciting journey ahead," said the caption of Kane's post. Kane missed the recently-concluded T20I series against Australia this month as he was on a paternity leave. Australia won the series 3-0. However, he will be playing the Test series starting from February 29. The star batter last appeared in the Kiwis' two-Test series against South Africa earlier in February. Kiwis won the series 2-0 and Kane was the star, scoring 403 runs in four innings, including three centuries.
SYDNEY :All-rounder Michael Neser was recalled to the Australia squad for two tests in New Zealand in the only notable change to the group from the home series against Pakistan and West Indies.
JOHANNESBURG :All-rounder Marco Jansen shone with bat and ball as South Africa won the fifth and final One Day International against Australia by 122 runs at the Wanderers on Sunday to complete a come-from-behind series victory.
