Australia may send fringe players to India A series over ODI duties

Australian selectors are weighing the option of sending certain players on the Australia A four-day tour of India rather than having them feature in upcoming ODIs against Zimbabwe and South Africa. The decision is being driven by the importance of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, with officials keen to give selected players meaningful red-ball preparation. The four-day format of the India A series is seen as more relevant preparation for the Test series ahead.

Steve Smith remains Australia's batting anchor amid lineup uncertainty

Australia's Test batting lineup has long relied heavily on a core group of three key players, with Steve Smith continuing to be the most vital among them. Despite being in the latter stages of his career, Smith is described as 'invigorated' and remains central to Australia's batting plans. The team has sustained strong Test results overall, but the batting order carries notable uncertainty beyond its established pillars. The reliance on a small group of senior batters raises questions about depth and succession within the Australian setup. Smith's form and fitness are therefore seen as especially critical to Australia's continued success in the format.
