Injured Lyon ruled out of the remainder of Ashes 2023

Australia offspinner Nathan Lyon has been ruled out of the remainder of Ashes 2023 with a calf injury. The 35-year-old suffered the injury, one he described as a 'decent tear', while fielding on the second day of the Lord's Test. He didn't bowl in the match thereafter but hobbled out to bat and added 15 runs for the final wicket with Mitchell Starc in the second innings. Australia went on to win the Test by 43 runs to go 2-0 up in the series.

Incidentally, this second Test of the series had been Lyon's 100th in a row for Australia. Only five players before him - Alastair Cook, Allan Border, Mark Waugh, Sunil Gavaskar and Brendon McCullum - had managed this feat - a testament to a player's consistency as well as physical conditioning.

In Lyon's absence, Australia are certain to bring in offspiner Todd Murphy into the XI for the Headingley Test that starts on Thursday (July 6). The 22-year-old enjoyed a breakthrough debut tour of India earlier this year, taking 14 wickets from four Tests at an average of 25.21. This included a seven-fer on his debut in Nagpur.

Australia squad for Leeds Test: David Warner, Usman Khawaja, Marcus Harris, Marnus Labuschagne, Steve Smith, Travis Head, Cameron Green, Mitchell Marsh, Alex Carey, Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Todd Murphy, Scott Boland, Michael Neser, Jimmy Peirson

Meanwhile, Australia have released back-up batter Matt Renshaw from the squad for the third Test in what should be a vote of confidence in the team's batting as well as in the form of opener David Warner, who scored an important 66 on the opening day of the Lord's Test. However, Renshaw will remain in the UK as standby. Among the bowlers, Michael Neser holds on to his place in the 16-man squad.

Bumrah rejoins Indian team, ACC announce reserve day for Pakistan clash

  Jasprit Bumrah has re-joined the Indian team after a brief hiatus from Asia Cup duties in view of the birth of his first child. He arrived in Colombo early on Friday, just in time for India's first Super 4 match against Pakistan on Sunday. His arrival coincides with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) announcing a reserve day for the upcoming crucial match. Due to the persistent inclement weather in Colombo, the ACC has rightly decided to designate a reserve day for Sunday's fixture. In case the weather affects the game on the scheduled day, it will continue on Monday from where it left off. It's worth noting that there are no reserve days allocated for the other Super 4 matches due to back-to-back games, but the final will have a reserve day in case of rain, Bumrah had left Sri Lanka immediately after India's initial game against Pakistan on September 2, causing him to miss the second league match against Nepal on September 4. However, his return aligns perfectly with th

  Ben Stokes appeared upbeat about his personal fitness © Getty With England's gruelling home summer set to start with the one-off Test against Ireland on Thursday (June 1), red-ball captain Ben Stokes' return to competitive cricket has been among the major talking points for the home side. With a recurring knee injury hounding him, Stokes' bowling role has come under the cloud but he appeared upbeat about his personal fitness. "I have worked incredibly hard with the medical team in Chennai, who were liasing with the ECB guys, and got myself into a place where I feel like I am back at 2019, 2020 space in terms of my own body and fitness," said Stokes. "I have definitely given myself the best opportunity, but the mind and body are different things. But yeah, I have given myself the best chance." The talismanic all-rounder played very little part in the just concluded Indian Premier League where he featured in just two games for eventual champions Chennai
