"David Warner Doesn't Warrant Hero's Send-Off": Mitchell Johnson

As Australia prepare for the Test series against Pakistan, one of the greatest Aussie batters of all time, David Warner, will don the white shirt for the national team one last time. While Warner's form in the longest format hasn't been the best, he was picked for the Test assignment against Pakistan, a fact that hasn't gone down well with former Australia star Mitchell Johnson. In his column, Johnson aimed an unflinching attack at Warner, criticising the fact that the southpaw was given an opportunity to play his farewell series despite his poor form and involvement in the 'sandpaper gate' scandal.

Uncapped Lance Morris Named In Australia Squad For First Test Against Pakistan

Uncapped pacer Lance Morris has been included in Australia's 14-man squad for the first Test against Pakistan in Perth, which will be played from December 14 onwards. Morris, nicknamed 'The Wild Thing' for his ferocious pace, has enjoyed a great start to his first-class career, taking 74 wickets in just 22 games so far at an average of 25.44. He could be making his Test debut in front of his home fans in the state of Western Australia.

With the series already in the bag, Team India will look to test its bench strength as they face Australia in the fifth and final T20I at the M Chinnaswamy Stadium in Bengaluru. All-rounder Shivam Dube is the most likely candidate to get the nod in the team, with in-form Rinku Singh being rested for the inconsequential contest. The focus will be on Shreyas Iyer after the batter was dismissed for cheap in the last match, having missed the first three games. Iyer is likely to play a huge part during the tour of South Africa.

India's Predicted XI vs Australia, 5th T20I: Will Shivam Dube Replace In-Form Rinku Singh?

With the fate of the series sealed, the Indian cricket team could look to rotate the squad as it takes on Australia in the 5th and final T20I of the series on Sunday. The likes of Yashasvi Jaiswal and Ruturaj Gaikwad have done really well at the top as a pair. Skipper Suryakumar Yadav is unlikely to make any change with the opening combination. However, all-rounder Shivam Dube is the most likely candidate to get the nod, with Rinku Singh being rested for the inconsequential contest.

Team India successfully defended the target of 175 and registered a 20-run victory over Australia in the fourth T20I on Friday in Raipur. With this win, the hosts have gained an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. The main architects of India's win were batter Rinku Singh, who scored 46 off 29 balls and all-rounder Axar Patel, who took three crucial wickets. Apart from playing a quick knock, Rinku also entertained the Raipur crowd with his stunning boundaries and sixes.

Team India secured a crucial win in the fourth T20I against Australia to seal the series, ahead of Sunday's dead rubber in Bengaluru. After winning the first two matches, the hosts lost the third game in Guwahati. However, Rinku Singh's quickfire 46 and a spin attack led by Axar Patel helped India to a series-clinching 20-run win.

Dashing opener Ruturaj Gaikwad said India's "fearless and aggressive" approach helped them secure the five-match T20I series against Australia and hoped the triumph would give fans something to cheer about after India's heartbreaking loss in the ODI World Cup final. India on Friday defeated Australia by 20 runs in the fourth T20I to take an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match series. He went on to credit Chennai Super Kings captain MS Dhoni for his new approach in the shortest format.
