Cricket Australia CEO Kevin Roberts thinks India may agree to play a day-night Test in their tour to Australia next year, with them being comfortably placed at the top of the ICC World Test Championship Table with 360 points from seven games. Australia are on the second spot with 176 points.

After leading the Australian resurgence in times of extreme difficulty, Tim Paine is thinking of bowing out of the game at the end of the Aussie summer. Paine, in the pre-series presser, has touched upon topics like his captaincy as well as his ambition to see Australia beating India in India.

Ryan Harris has admitted that India’s bowling was outstanding in the Test series against Australia down under, and he even went on to term it as good as Australia’s bowling in the 2013-14 Ashes. The former Australia pacer also heaped praise on Indian pacers Mohammed Shami and Jasprit Bumrah.

Dilip Vengsarkar has stated that the Indian team’s overdependence on skipper Virat Kohli is not a good thing and other batsmen have to perform. The former India batsmen also agreed to coach Ravi Shastri’s comment on Kohli batting at no.4 during the upcoming World Cup in England.
