Australia win their three-match Test series against South Africa on January 8, and will now be preparing for the Border Gavaskar Trophy. It will be the last assignment of the WTC cycle for both India and Australia when they will face each other in the four-match Test series scheduled in February-March 2023. Australia presently dominate the WTC rankings with a point percentage of 75.56%, followed by India at 58.93%.
“I think we’re as good a chance as we’re ever going to be. It was another fantastic summer. I feel like we’re adapting really well. Having the experience of Pakistan and Sri Lanka last year has put us in really good stead for India. No one is going over there blind. We’ll use the next few weeks to reflect on the next 12 months and then get over there really refreshed and eager,” Cummins was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
Ashton Agar will absolutely be there: Cummins
“A left-arm orthodox, he’ll (Ashton Agar) absolutely be there. It wasn’t an audition at all. I thought he did really well. There were 800 runs and three wickets for spin during the game. It wasn’t easy for him but I thought he did his role well. Hoping it would have broken up a bit more, and spun a bit more. It probably wasn’t a classic India wicket we would have expected,” he added.
