Australia Test captain Pat Cummins has said that evaluation of Justin Langer by Cricket Australia is fair and it is a part of a high performance environment. Team’s head coach Justin Langer’s contract will expire in June and his future will be decided before upcoming Australia’s tour to Pakistan.

Reacting to David Gower's statement, Kevin Pietersen has stated that it is stupid to blame the Indian Premier League (IPL) for England's 0-4 defeat against Australia in the recently concluded Ashes. Gower had stated that the England cricket team had players who were unavailable due to the IPL.

Pat Cummins believes that the Ashes series win is the beginning of 'something big' as they eye away wins required to be the best side in Test Cricket. Cummins also added that the squad is in a really good place and is well suited to play in the tours to Pakistan, Sri Lanka, India, and England.

Marnus Labuschagne was dismissed in a strange way on 44 as he was clean bowled on a delivery by Stuart Broad while trying to play across the line. Labuschagne shuffled across the stumps to offside and tried to play a flick but his foot slipped and the batsmen fell down exposing the stumps.
