Australia ODIs in sight, Rohit Sharma starts training with ex-coach Nayar

India ODI captain Rohit Sharma on Tuesday started training at a suburban Mumbai facility with former national assistant coach Abhishek Nayar amid clamour for a "youth only" policy in the 50-over format following the success of the inexperienced Test squad in England. Rohit had taken a break from the game for a couple of months post the IPL as Indian men's team embarked on a difficult tour of England. He also announced his retirement from Test cricket ahead of the five Test series in England and is now a one format player. He was on a family holiday in England and came back last week. Rohit posted an Instagram story from a gymnasium with his close friend Nayar, who also at times doubles up as his personal coach. Nayar, who has also worked the likes of Dinesh Karthik, KL Rahul, Rinku Singh and young KKR batter Angkrish Raghuvanshi, was India's assistant coach batting till Champions Trophy, following which he was sacked. However, all those who have personally worked with Nayar have .

India A vs Australia A: Konstas, McSweeney named for four-day matches

Australia openers Sam Konstas and Nathan McSweeney were on Thursday named in the A' squad bound to India to play two four-day matches in Lucknow in September, with an eye on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2026-27. Konstas had replaced McSweeney during the last India-Australia series Down Under but has failed to nail his spot at the top of the order, having endured a disappointing outing in Caribbean even as his side thoroughly dominated the West Indies. The 19-year-old Konstas is the only current Test player to be named in the A' side while the other capped players include McSweeney, Cooper Connolly and spinner Todd Murphy. Murphy, who has so far featured in seven Tests, played each of the four matches of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy during their India tour in 2022-23, which Australia lost 1-2, claiming 14 wickets. Australia's chairman of selectors George Bailey was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au, The subcontinent provides many unique challenges and the opportunity to utilise differe

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

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 ..
