Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25: Cummins, Starc to take on added duties for Australia vs India in Hazlewood’s absence

The Hindu  

Australia captain Pat Cummins says he and fellow pace bowler Mitchell Starc will have to take on added duties in the absence of the injured Josh Hazlewood if pitches continue to be as seam-friendly as they have been in Perth, Adelaide and Brisbane in the five-test series against India. India won the first test by 295 runs at Perth, while Australia came back to win the second day-night test in Adelaide by 10 wickets. Cummins said Thursday he was hopeful that both he and Starc would play the remaining tests — the Boxing Day match starting Dec. 26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sydney test beginning Jan. 3. If anything, the rain breaks actually helped us get a bit of a break.” If Australia cannot beat India in both Melbourne and Sydney, the side will need to win at least one test on Galle’s turning wickets in Sri Lanka next month to keep its World Test Championship title defense alive.
