Australia captain Pat Cummins is shifting his focus to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy after the second ODI against Pakistan. This series is a crucial precursor to the Champions Trophy, and Cummins’ participation in the ODIs against Pakistan was already planned to be limited ¹.
In fact, Australia’s Test players, including Cummins, will be rested for the T20I series against Pakistan to prepare for the five-match Test series against India, starting November 22 ². This move is strategic, considering the importance of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and the need for Australia’s top players to be well-rested and prepared.
The Border-Gavaskar Trophy is scheduled to take place from November 22 to January 7, 2025, featuring five Test matches ³. With Cummins at the helm, Australia will look to make a strong impression against India.
Upcoming Cricket Schedule:
- Border-Gavaskar Trophy : November 22 – January 7, 2025
- Champions Trophy : February 2025
- Australia vs. India Test Series : November 22 – December 2024
