Australian cricketer, Test captain, Queensland captain
Bangladesh takes a commanding lead in the Darwin Test after core contributions from Tanzid Hasan Tamim and Mehidy Hasan Miraz, with Australia facing a tough path to victory as the hosts trail by a substantial margin on day three.
Australia has leveled the two-Test series against Bangladesh with an innings-and-51-run win in Mackay, powered by Mitchell Starc’s 10-wicket haul. The result follows a shock Darwin defeat and shifts momentum as Australia’s bowlers dominate, while the batting remains a work in progress.
Australia’s tour of South Africa faces a critical Test series as Marnus Labuschagne seeks form after a string of modest scores. The squad includes Cooper Connolly, Matthew Kuhnemann and Michael Neser, with Pat Cummins as captain; Bangladesh and South Africa tests loom in October.
