IND vs AUS: Nathan Lyon wants to win Test series in India before retirement

Australian spin great Nathan Lyon has no immediate plans of Test retirement as he yearns for one final away series win in India before calling time on his illustrious career. The 37-year-old, who is the most successful off-spinner for Australia with 556 wickets in 138 Tests, has taken 130 wickets against India in 32 Tests (both home and away) but has never been a part of an away series win in India. In fact, Australia have not beaten India in their backyard since their "final frontier" triumph in 2004-05. "I've always said I want to win away in India. I want to win away in England, Lyon was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au. "We've got that opportunity in a couple of years' time, but we've also got to take it Test by Test and make sure that we're doing everything here in West Indies right. "Then we've got a massive summer at home with the Ashes. But another World Test Championship final would be on my cards for sure," he added. But Lyon has relinquished his duties in the Austral

Record demand: Indian fans fuel sell-outs for Sydney, Canberra matches

Team India will tour Australia in October and November 2025, featuring three One-Day Internationals, beginning in Perth, followed by a five-match T20I series, concluding in Brisbane on November 8.

India to tour Australia in October-November for 3 ODIs and 5 T20s

The Indian team will tour Australia later this year for a multi-format limited overs series comprising three ODIs and five T20 Internationals, Cricket Australia (CA) said on Sunday. The visitors will play the white-ball matches between October 19 and November 8. While the 50-over matches will be day-and-night fixtures, the T20s will be night matches. The 2025-26 season will be the first-ever to feature men's international matches in all eight Australian states and territories, with Canberra and Hobart both set to host India during the five-game T20 series. That will come after the 2023 World Cup finalists face off in 50-over matches in Perth, Adelaide and Sydney. Gold Coast's Carrara Stadium will then see T20 action along with the regular venues, the MCG and the Gabba. India will be returning to Australia after the gripping five-Test Border-Gavaskar Trophy in 2024-25 which set new attendance records Down Under. "We smashed many records for attendance, viewing audiences and digital

India women's team set for all-format series against Aus in early 2026

The Indian women's cricket team will travel to Australia early next year for a gruelling all-format tour, which will culminate with a one-off Test at the WACA Ground in Perth in March. The tour, scheduled from February 15 to March 9, will see the teams play three T20Is and an equal number of One-day Internationals. The series will commence with the first T20I in Sydney on February 15, which will be followed by matches at the Manuka Oval and Adelaide Oval. The ODI series will commence on February 24 at the Allan Border Field in Brisbane, which will be followed by matches on February 27 and March 1.

"The WACA Ground, is undergoing a redevelopment that will transform it into a ...

IND vs AUS: Strike rotation was key to my innings - Kohli on his 56 singles

India's batting mainstay Virat Kohli on Tuesday likened his match-winning effort in the Champions Trophy semifinal against Australia to the unbeaten hundred against Pakistan and singled out strike rotation as the most important aspect to succeed in the prevailing conditions here. Kohli was not able to close the chase against Australia but his 84 off 98 balls went a long way in India comfortably overhauling the 265-run in challenging batting conditions. Just like the game against Pakistan, quick singles and doubles formed the basis of his innings comprising only five boundaries. "It (his innings) was pretty similar to the other day against Pakistan. It is about understanding the conditions and rotating the strike because partnerships on this pitch are important," said Kohli after receiving the player of the match award. Kohli's fluent effort included 56 singles and four twos, indicating his exemplary fitness level. "It all depends on the conditions and then I play my innings. My ..

IND vs AUS semis preview: India look to spin a new tale in ICC knockouts

History weighs heavily against them but India would rely on a potent spin battery and familiarity with the conditions to break the knockout jinx against an undermanned Australia when the two formidable cricket forces clash in the Champions Trophy semifinal here on Tuesday. It will not be a straightforward task, though, as the Aussies are a resilient beast in global tournaments even without their lead cast of Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc. Their stunning chase of 352 against England at Lahore a few days back validates the thought. The last time India triumphed against Australia in the knockout stage of an ICC event was way back in 2011 World Cup quarterfinal. India lost to Australia in the semifinals of the 2015 ODI World Cup and in the title clash of the 2023 ODI World Cup before succumbing to them in the World Test Championship final in 2023. This Indian side will realistically hope to rewrite that largely melancholic script over the last 14 years and the primary
