BGT: Shastri picks Cummins, Lyon to shine with ball for Aussies; warns India of Smith's challenge

Hindustan Times  

New Delhi, : Former India head coach Ravi Shastri expects Australia skipper Pat Cummins and seasoned off-spinner Nathan Lyon to deliver with the ball for the Aussies in the Border Gavaskar Trophy. BGT: Shastri picks Cummins, Lyon to shine with ball for Aussies; warns India of Smith's challenge On the other end of the spectrum, Shastri issued a warning to India to stay relentless against Steven Smith, who will be "up for the challenge." While pondering on Australia's lethal pace attack, which makes the ball obey their will, Shastri expects Cummins to have his say ahead of Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood. Australia squad for the first Test: Pat Cummins, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitch Marsh, Nathan McSweeney, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc.
