Tim Paine could be back playing in Tasmania in six weeks as Australia’s former Test captain prepares for his cricket comeback. Paine is training with Tasmania’s state squad as an uncontracted player as he plots a return for the first time since losing the Test captaincy in a sexting controversy.
SYDNEY : Former Australia captain Tim Paine, who resigned after a sexting scandal last November and took an "indefinite mental health break" from cricket, has ended his self-imposed exile and is back in training in Tasmania.
The development comes ahead of Australia's tour of India next year. Sriram, who played eight ODIs between 2000 and 2004, has been part of the Australian coaching set up since 2015. He was a part of the Australia A program on an Indian tour before being appointed as spin bowling coach under the then head coach Darren Lehmann in 2016.
No cricket fan can forget the 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy as the series saw an injury-hit Team India punching above their weight to stun hosts Australia. Going into the series decider at Gabba, the proceedings were level at 1-1 and there was everything to play for at the Gabba, which was seen as a fortress for the Aussies. However, Rishabh Pant produced a quality fourth-innings knock to help India chase down 328 with three wickets in hand on the final day of the Test. As a result of this knock, India won the series 2-1 against all odds.
The 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy is viewed as one of the most memorable Test series as it saw an injury-hit India staging a comeback to defeat Australia in their own backyard. Under the leadership of Ajinkya Rahane, Team India showed remarkable grit and determination to outclass the hosts. The series saw its own fair bit of drama and before the third Test in Sydney, a few of the Indian stars were asked to stay in the hotel after they were seen at a restaurant.
The 2020-21 Border-Gavaskar Trophy was one for the ages and no one can forget how an injury-hit India went on to defeat Australia in their own backyard against all odds. India had been bundled out for 36 in the Adelaide Test and many pundits had predicted a whitewash, especially after Virat Kohli returned home as he was expecting the birth of his child. However, it was under Ajinkya Rahane, that the team rallied around to defeat the then Tim Paine-led side in Melbourne and Brisbane.
MELBOURNE: Former Australian Test captain Tim Paine's career appears to have come to an end as Tasmania has not offered him a fresh contract, months after his text message scandal before the Ashes series. The 37-year-old Paine has not been included in the contracted players' list, posted by Cricket Tasmania on its website.
Former Australia captain Tim Paine has been omitted from Tasmania's list of contracted players, leaving dark clouds over his playing career. Paine, who had stepped down as Australia's Test captain following a 'sexting' scandal, had taken an indefinite "mental health break" from the game. After taking break from cricket, Paine had returned to the Tasmanian cricket fold with an unofficial coaching role late last season. The Tasmanian Tigers have named a predominantly unchanged squad from last season, which saw them narrowly miss out on the finals in both the Sheffield Shield and Marsh One-Day Cup, finishing third in both competitions.
