Australian cricketer and captain, pace bowler who leads in all formats
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.
England’s home Ashes schedule excludes Headingley for the next two summers. Notably, Nottingham’s Trent Bridge will host the northerly match in 2027, with Headingley and Old Trafford out of the men’s rotation. England’s win over Pakistan at Headingley secures momentum, but fans face years without a Headingley Test.
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.
