The upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024 will be challenging for India since Australians are hungry to win the Test series. In the last 10 years, India has dominated the series, but this time, it seems like the Australian army might be able to Men in Blue. While speaking to West.co.au, Australian spinner Nathan Lyon has warned the Indian team to stay cautious of the hosts, who will try their best to win the trophy back.
"It's been 10 years of unfinished business. It's been a long time. I know I'm extremely hungry to turn things around and make sure we get that trophy back, that's for sure," said Nathan Lyon, quoted by West.co.au.
The Indian team has to play a Test series against Bangladesh and New Zealand before heading towards Australia to play the big series. India and Australia are in the top two positions of the WTC points table and wouldn't want to make a mistake by letting go of their position.
Everyone that comes back after a break is a little bit fresher: Pat Cummins
Australian skipper Pat Cummins has taken a break from cricket for eight weeks and will resume his duties from the home series against Pakistan. After that, Aussies will want to play the BGT series with India which is important, hence, Cummins has taken a break from cricket for the time being. He won't play the upcoming white-ball series against England and Scotland.
"Everyone that comes back after a break is a little bit fresher, you never regret it. I've been bowling non-stop since the World Test Championship final, nearly 18 months ago. This gives me a good seven or eight weeks completely off bowling so the body can recover, then you start building up again for the summer. It means you can hopefully bowl for a little bit longer, maintain pace is a bit easier, make you less susceptible to injuries,” as per Fox Sports reports.
