Pat Cummins
Border Gavaskar Trophy: The four-match Border Gavaskar Trophy is currently being played between India and Australia. Team India has taken a 2-0 lead by easily winning the first two matches of this series. The third Test is to be played at the Holkar Stadium in Indore. But before this match a big news has come out. Actually Australia’s captain Pat Cummins is going to be out of this match.
Who will lead the team?
After the exit of Cummins, the biggest question arises that who will take charge of the Australian team in his absence. Steve Smith will be seen handling this responsibility. Smith has already commanded the Australian team for a long time. But the captaincy of the team was snatched from him in the ball tampering controversy. At present, he is the vice-captain of the Australian team.
Why has Cummins gone home?
Cummins has gone to his home due to family problems. Actually the health of Cummins’s mother is bad. Cummins said in a statement that I have decided not to return to India at this time, as my mother is ill and is being looked after. I feel best here with my family. I appreciate the overwhelming support I have received from Cricket Australia and my teammates. thanks for understanding.
Australian team struggling with crisis
Most of the players of the Australian team on the tour of India are troubled by injury. David Warner was ruled out of the Delhi Test due to injury and he has also gone home after being ruled out of this series. At the same time, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Cameron Green could not play in the first two Tests due to injury. Now Pat Cummins has also returned to Australia. Along with being the captain, Cummins is the mainstay of the Australian team’s fast bowling attack. Now the Australian team is in trouble due to his return home.
