Australia Cricket Team News

Australia beat Pakistan by a couple of wickets and 16.3 overs in hand. A 85-run stand between Steve Smith and Josh Inglis was followed up by an Australian collapse before Pat Cummins rescued the hosts with the bat in hand to chase down a tricky 204-run target at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

Tough times don’t last long but tough people do. Irfan Khan exemplified it for a short period of time during the Australia versus Pakistan first ODI at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, Melbourne as he produced a scintillating catch immediately after his dedicative efforts were denied by cricket laws. 

In a significant development in the Australian cricket circuit, Men’s head coach Andrew McDonald’s contract has been extended until 2027. The Victorian succeeded former Australian cricketer Justin Langer in 2022 and achieved greater heights with the Kangaroos in the past couple of years.

Cricket Australia have announced a 13-man young contingent for the upcoming T20I series against Pakistan, starting November 14. The Kangaroos have rested various major names that are supposed to be a part of their Test summer against India in the 2024-2025 Border Gavaskar Trophy.
