Australian cricketer, former captain, one of the world’s top Test batsmen
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.
England’s white-ball unit dominates Sri Lanka at Southampton, with Baker claiming three wickets and Brook blasting 114 to propel a 254-run total; the hosts surge toward victory in Southampton, while the Sri Lankans bowled out for 135.
Khawaja has confirmed he will publish an autobiography, released days after Australia’s first Test tour of South Africa since the 2018 ball-tampering scandal. Cummins says he has moved on and notes investigators found no other players involved; Khawaja’s book will address events from that era.
Nic Renshaw has underlined his return to the Australia side with a majestic 190 in the Durban Test, followed by a measured 89 in the second innings as Australia set South Africa a daunting 421 to win. The breakthrough came as Pat Cummins closed the day with a wicket and a declaration that left the Proteas chasing a challenging target.
