"Hopefully, We Can Turn Tables": Steve Smith Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy vs India

Experienced batter Steven Smith has said that Australia "need to" end India's dominance in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy by reclaiming the title. For the current generation of Australian stars, a Test series win over India remains an elusive dream. Australia Test captain Pat Cummins, along with others, are still hunting to lift the Border-Gavaskar Trophy despite claiming the World Test Championship (WTC) title in the one-off match at The Oval last year. Australia have not held the Border-Gavaskar title since the 2014-15 series 2-0 triumph. Since then, the Baggy Greens have suffered consecutive defeats in series against India on home soil.

Not Rohit Sharma Or Virat Kohli, This Indian Batter "Will Be A Massive Challenge" For Australian Bowlers, Feels Nathan Lyon

Ace off-spinner Nathan Lyon has already started his homework on rising batting sensation Yashasvi Jaiswal with England spinner Tom Hartley's inputs on the southpaw safely stored in his memory bank ahead of the five-Test Border-Gavaskar series between India and Australia starting from November 22. Jaiswal, who scored a century on debut in the West Indies last year, scored an astounding 712 runs in the five Test series against England at home earlier this year. But the pace and bounce on offer on Australian tracks will pose a different challenge for the Mumbaikar.

'Will Be Drawing On Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh A Bit More': Pat Cummins Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy Against India

Australia Test captain Pat Cummins expects greater workload with the ball for all-rounders Cameron Green and Mitchell Marsh against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy this summer. Cummins wants both the all-rounders to share the workload with the team's frontline pace attack in the gruelling five-Test series starting November. "It's been huge (having the all-rounders). In some ways we haven't had to use them as much as we thought we would. Which is a great thing. The last couple of summers have been pretty light (with) quick Test matches," Cummins said at the launch of Play Cricket week.

"Ten Years Of Unfinished Business": Nathan Lyon's Warning Ahead Of Border-Gavaskar Trophy

Australia is determined to resolve a decade of unfinished business in their pursuit of reclaiming the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia has not held the Border-Gavaskar Trophy since the 2014-15 series, which they won 2-0. Since then, they have suffered consecutive series defeats to India on home soil. Notably, in the 2020-21 series, India famously rebounded from being bowled out for 36 in Adelaide to secure the series with remarkable victories at Melbourne Cricket Ground and Gabba, along with a gritty draw in Sydney.

"Still A Chance To Play Test": Australia Spinner Adam Zampa Eyes Red-Ball Return

Australia spinner Adam Zampa remains hopeful of donning the iconic Baggy Green cap despite his sparse first-class appearances in recent years. Zampa, who has become a key figure in Australia's limited-overs setup, believes his current form and experience would make him a strong contender for Test selection, particularly for subcontinent tours. Zampa's Test aspirations first gained traction last year when he was considered a strong candidate for Australia's Test tour of India. However, the selectors ultimately opted for Queensland's Mitchell Swepson, leaving Zampa disappointed but undeterred.
