Australian Cummins ruler to do “whatever it takes” to play ashes
Sydney: Pat Cummins says he will do whatever he needs to play the ashes against England starting in November, with the Australian ruler preparing to “take some risks” with an injury to the back that has been sidelined. The 32-year-old Pace is excluded from the upcoming White-Ball series against New Zealand and India with “bone lumbar stress”, which throws a shadow over Australian ash preparations. He has not retired from his trial tour in West Indies in June-July, confined to simple light gyms without any return date. The first ashes test begins in 12 weeks in Perth and Cummins told
Australia announces the T20i team against New Zealand
Australia has named a team of 14 members for the three -year T20i series against New Zealand next month at Maunganui Mount Mount, with Allrounder Marcus Stoinis making a very expected return.

Australia Bowl Out West Indies for 27, Complete Tested Pure Scan 3-0
Australia launched the West Indies for just 27 runs on the third day of the third test, recording a 176 victory and completing a Whitewash 3-0 in a great way. The collapse marked the second lower entries overall in the history of the test cricket and the worst of the western Indians, since their 47 against England in 2004 was only marginally better than the low 26 record set by New Zealand in 1955. The quick Bowler Mitchell Starc was the demolition architect, taking 6 for 9 in a devastating spell that included five wickets in just 15 deliveries. The

It will be available for selection in the 2026 ICC Men World Cup in India and Sri Lanka. The explosive Allrounder, known for both his unorthodox taking and for his underestimated off-spin, leaves behind him a legacy defined by brilliance and unforgettable performances, mainly a heroic 201, not against Afghanistan in the 2023 World Cup. Entering the 7-91 with Australia in crisis, Maxwell fought a serious cramp and oppressive heat to create a
Aus dump McSweeney, call Konstas for testing
SYDNEY: Australia have dropped Nathan McSweeney after three Tests and thrust uncapped teenager Sam Konstas into the squad for the Boxing Day Test against India in search of more runs from the top order. Improvised opener McSweeney scored 72 runs from 212 deliveries at an average of 14.4 in six innings as Australia crushed the series opener, impressively won the second Test and leveled the third in Brisbane this week.
