Talking about the World Test Championship final, Steve Smith said he expects the Indian attack to pose a stiff challenge irrespective of the combination they go with. Not so long ago in India, Australia's preparations revolved around Ravichandran Ashwin and Ravindra Jadeja but now they also need to be wary of Mohammed Siraj and Mohammed Shami.
Team India is marching towards the much-awaited World Test Championship final against Australia at The Oval. The marquee game will be played from June 7-11, where both the teams will be giving their best to bag the WTC title, which India eventually lost in 2021 to New Zealand. With only four days left for the match, a lot of debate regarding the Playing XI has been going on, especially for the position of the wicketkeeper. As Rishabh Pant has been out of action since December, last year and KL Rahul has also been ruled out, the squad consists of Ishan Kishan and KS Bharat as the wicketkeeping options.
Indian team came from behind to register a hard-fought 2-1 victory over Malaysia as it continued its winning momentum in the women's Junior Asia Cup hockey tournament in Kakamighara on Monday. Mumtaz Khan (10th minute) and Deepika (26th) turned out to be the saviour for India after Malaysia took an early lead in the sixth minute through Dian Nazeri. The win meant India remained on top of Pool A following their thumping 22-0 win over Uzbekistan in the tournament opener. India went on the offensive from the start and in the process secured a couple of penalty corners but failed to capitalise on them.

The smaller nations are not playing enough Test cricket, with India, Australia and England effectively driving the longest format. It was, though, ironical that Smith spoke about the uncertain future ahead of the biggest game in Test cricket -- the WTC final.
