<p>Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan lauded Nitish Kumar Reddy post his success in the just-concluded Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) 2024-25 edition, in Australia. On Sunday (Jan 5), India lost the fifth and final Test versus Australia, at the SCG, Sydney, on Day 3, to concede the series 3-1. While Jasprit Bumrah had a terrific run with the ball, taking 32 wickets, the most in this edition, Nitish Reddy was one of the very few Indian batters who made a mark Down Under.</p>
<p>Reddy ended with three 40-plus scores, one 38 and a brilliant 114, in the fourth and penultimate Test at the MCG, Melbourne, to leave a mark in his maiden Test series. Thus, Pathan lavished huge praise on the batting all-rounder.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>'India have got a terrific player'</strong></h2>
<p>"You have got an excellent prospect. It's not easy at all for any batter to make his debut in Australia. We might show his century, but he was batting very well before that, he was reaching the 40-run mark regularly," Irfan told Star Sports.</p>

Nitish Reddy could be a consistent No 6 for India: Pathan lauds youngster after BGT success

<p>Former Indian cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar slammed India's team selection after their 1-3 Test series loss to Australia on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test at the SCG, Sydney on Sunday (Jan 5). India lost the five-match Test series and conceded the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) for the first time since 2017. Manjrekar, thus, criticised the team combination for India during the marquee series, especially pointing out Washington Sundar's inclusion in the XI for the series finale in Sydney.</p>
<h2><strong>'India didn't have a single player who was played because of his second skill'</strong></h2>
<p>"It's crazy when you think of an important place in that Indian Test XI in a marquee series. Barring that fifty, Washington Sundar hasn't contributed with the bat much. I think he's a highly talented bowler. But, he has a place when the pitch is turning overseas. And with Jadeja already there, Nitish Kumar Reddy as well, plus Washington Sundar as well. I thought his selection was a blunder on a pitch like this," Manjrekar said on ESPNCricinfo.</p>

<p>"The last two tours to Australia, India didn't have a single player who was played because of his second skill.

<p>Talking about Sundar, the left-arm spinner&mdash;who had a great run in India's forgettable Test series versus New Zealand at home&mdash;he ended with three wickets, bowling only 37 overs in the series (playing three Tests).

<p>India will now shift their focus on the 2025 Champions Trophy, which kicks off next month in Pakistan and the UAE. Their next Test assignment is in July in England, comprising five Tests.</p>

<p>Former Indian player Mohammed Kaif slammed the national side following their 1-3 Test series loss to Australia on Day 3 of the fifth and final Test at the SCG, Sydney, on Sunday (Jan 5). Setting a 162-run target for the hosts, India suffered a six-wicket loss to concede a 3-1 lead to Pat Cummins &amp; Co. and lose the Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT) for the first time since 2017. Kaif regarded the team as 'white-ball bullies' and lashed out at them for missing domestic cricket.</p>
<h2><strong>'If we have to win WTC, then players will have to play domestic cricket'</strong></h2>
<p>Kaif said in a video posted on his social media page, "On 23rd February India will earn a lot of praise by beating Pakistan (in Champions Trophy) and everyone will say we are a champion team in white-ball cricket. But if India want to team the World Test Championship then we will have to make a Test match team, will have to learn to play on seaming tracks. The truth is that we are just white-ball bullies. We are lagging too far behind. If we have to win WTC, then players will have to play domestic cricket on turning tracks, will have to practice on seaming tracks, otherwise we will not be able to win."</p>

All players get the chance to play Ranji Trophy, but it gets tiresome for the players and they prefer rest over playing Ranji Trophy. They don't play Ranji Trophy, they don't play practice matches then how will they become better players? It's tough to play on turning tracks in India and tougher to play on seaming tracks in Australia and South Africa. So if you don't practice well, WTC will keep eluding you. What has happened, it has happened for the good and now Team India needs to work hard in Test cricket."</p>
<p class="edpara">In the last 10 Tests, India have lost six and won only three (with two against Bangladesh at home). Rohit Sharma-led side were whitewashed by New Zealand in a three-match series at home before conceding the BGT to Australia.</p>

<p>Rohit Sharma surprised one and all by 'opting to rest' for the fifth and final Test between India and Australia, of the 2024-25 Border-Gavaskar Trophy (BGT), at the SCG, Sydney on Friday (Jan 3). On Day 1 of the series finale, Jasprit Bumrah walked out for the toss as he revealed that out-of-form Rohit has opted out of the contest. After the day's play, Rishabh Pant opined on Rohit's call.&nbsp;</p>
<h2><strong>'It was an emotional decision....'</strong></h2>
<p>"I think definitely it was an emotional decision because he has been captain for a long time. We see him as a leader of the team. But, there are some decisions in which you are not involved with. And it's a management call. I was not part of that conversation. So can't explain anything more than that," Pant told the reporters after the stumps on Day 1 of the SCG Test.</p>

<p>New Zealand and Sri Lanka will kickoff the three-match ODI series on Sunday (Jan 5). After the three T20Is, the focus now shifts on the ODIs with the Mitchell Santner-led Black Caps set to commence their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy in the New Year under their recently-appointed white-ball skipper. For the Islanders, they will also be eager to make a statement after losing the T20Is.</p>
<p>The Black Caps will start as favourites, having a good mix of experienced and young players at their disposal. The series provides a good chance to many players to cement a place in NZ's Champions Trophy squad, to be in Pakistan and the UAE in Feb-March.</p>
<p>For SL, the Charith Asalanka-led side aren't part of the forthcoming showpiece event. However, they have had good success in white-ball formats in 2024 and will look to continue in a similar manner in 2025. Having already lost the three T20Is, the Lankans started the new calender year with a consolation win in the series finale on Jan 2 (Thursday). Hence, the visitors will be eager to carry on with the winning momentum.</p>

New Zealand and Sri Lanka will kickoff the three-match ODI series on Sunday (Jan 5). After the three T20Is, the focus now shifts on the ODIs with the Mitchell Santner-led Black Caps set to commence their preparations for the ICC Champions Trophy in the New Year under their recently-appointed white-ball skipper. For the Islanders, they will also be eager to make a statement after losing the T20Is. The Black Caps will start as favourites, having a good mix of experienced and young players at their disposal. The series provides a good chance to many players to cement a place in NZ's Champions Trophy squad, to be in Pakistan and the UAE in Feb-March. For SL, the Charith Asalanka-led side aren't part of the forthcoming showpiece event. However, they have had good success in white-ball formats in 2024 and will look to continue in a similar manner in 2025. Having already lost the three T20Is, the Lankans started the new calender year with a consolation win in the series finale on Jan 2 (Thursday). Hence, the visitors will be eager to carry on with the winning momentum. When is the New Zealand vs Sri Lanka 1st ODI match?
