Australia captain Pat Cummins has flown home from the tour of India due to a serious family health issue following his side’s six-wicket loss in the second Test in Delhi.Cummins will return to Sydney for a few days but is due to be back in India for the preparations ahead of the third Test in Indore. Australia are 2-0 down in the series with two Tests to play but now have a nine-day break between Tests with the third match beginning on March 1.Coach Andrew McDonald confirmed Cummins would remain in contact with the group while he is in Sydney and would remain involved in the planning for Indore.”We’ll be in contact with Patty,” McDonald said. “We’ve got some decisions to make around squads and injuries. He’ll still be engaged in those conversations whilst dealing with what’s happening back home but we’ve got some strong leaders in the squad who will be able to pick up the slack on the ground.”Cummins played as the sole quick in Australia’s XI in Delhi but did not bowl in the fourth innings of the match as India mowed down Australia’s target of 115 with ease to wrap up the Test inside three days.Although Cummins is not expected to miss a Test, vice-captain Steven Smith would lead the side if required. Smith has captained in Cummins’ absence on two occasions since the fast bowler took over the Test captaincy in late 2021.Cummins missed the second Test of the 2021-22 Ashes series in Adelaide after he was forced to withdraw due to being a close Covid contact. He also missed last year’s day-night Test in Adelaide against West Indies due to a quad injury.Australia are likely to have fast bowling cover if needed with Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood aiming to be fit for the third Test in Indore while Scott Boland and Lance Morris are still with the squad. Allrounder Cameron Green is also set to be available after missing the first two Tests in India due to his fractured finger.Cummins did forecast that there could be further squad changes announced in the coming days as Australia assess their options to try and find a way back into the series.David Warner’s fitness will be closely monitored after he was subbed out of the Delhi Test with concussion having also suffered a hairline fracture in his left elbow while batting in the first innings.Todd Murphy is battling some minor side soreness but was able to bowl 24.4 overs in the Test including 6.4 in the fourth innings on Sunday. Legspinner Mitchell Swepson could possibly return after flying home ahead of the second Test for the birth of his first child.Cummins is also the ODI captain with Australia set to play three-match ODI series against India following the conclusion of the four-Test series although there is a chance he would be rested from those in any case given his heavy Test workload.

If anything typified Arsenal’s calendar year to date it would be their 1-0 win over Chelsea on Sunday afternoon.

A win in the London derby against the Blues should usually be enough to spark bedlam and a roaring cacophony of sound around the Emirates Stadium.

Yet, this game felt different. Before kick-off, the Gunners were 15 points behind Liverpool and knew the title was out of reach. Still, a win is a win and it’s a vital win at that considering they have recently limped to a 1-0 defeat against West Ham, a goalless draw with Nottingham Forest and a 1-1 draw with Manchester United.

While Mikel Arteta’s men enjoyed a lot of the ball against Enzo Maresca’s side, they were lacking a killer instinct that has eluded them for a lot of 2025. They are missing Kai Havertz, Gabriel Jesus and Bukayo Saka. It’s hardly a surprise they’ve been so toothless.

So, let us rejoice in Mikel Merino, the makeshift centre-forward who’s been saving Arsenal’s bacon.

Mikel Merino's performance in numbers against Chelsea

When Merino arrived at Arsenal last summer, moving from Real Sociedad, little did he think he’d be playing as a striker in the latter stages of the season. Nor did Arteta, in all fairness.

However, needs must as far as the Gunners are concerned.

Merino has done his job well and must be cut some slack. Before that two-goal cameo against Leicester in February, he hadn’t ever played as a centre-forward.

Since being given the reins as the focal point of the side, he has scored four goals in seven games. It’s a pretty decent record but he’s never going to carry Arsenal to trophies playing in that role.

Still, he did an admirable job against Chelsea, leading the press, closing down the defenders and scoring the all-important goal.

Merino has scored a number of different strikes this term, scoring two back post efforts against Leicester and side-footing the ball home from close range against PSV.

This goal, however, was from the near post and it marked Arsenal’s first goal from a corner in what felt like forever. Skipper Martin Odegaard swung the ball in from the right and the Spaniard darted into a good position before flicking the ball past Robert Sanchez.

Merino could have made it two but this time was denied by Sanchez who had a rather topsy-turvy afternoon between the sticks.

The Spain international met the ball at the back post this time and hammered a volley towards the goal that nearly crossed the line but was kept out excellently.

While Merino deserves praise for his performance, one of his attacking colleagues certainly doesn’t.

Arsenal's biggest underperformer against Chelsea

While this was a pretty laboured 1-0 win for Arteta and his players, there were not many players who actually contributed poorly at the Emirates.

Sadly for Leandro Trossard, his contribution did not amount to much. In fact, it hasn’t amounted to much at all really in recent months.

The Belgian did score in that 7-1 rout in Eindhoven but has really struggled to make a positive impact in the absence of Saka.

Trossard began that aforementioned clash at Leicester as the 9 but has since been moved to the left to accommodate Merino and while his performance on Sunday wasn’t awful, it lacked flair and end product.

Handed a 5/10 match rating by the Express’ Simon Collings, he noted that it was ‘one of those days for the Belgian. Got into some good positions, but could not make the most of the chances. Frustrating.’

A look at the stats paints that frustrating picture, with the former Brighton star failing to register a key pass, a shot on target, complete a dribble or do anything of note defensively. He also lost the ball every five touches with it perhaps a surprise that Trossard lasted the full 90 minutes.

As a result, once the international break is said and done, Arteta must look at other options. Saka is nearing a return but it will still be too soon for any regular involvement for their star man so it surely has to be a front three of Gabriel Martinelli, Ethan Nwaneri and Merino.

Samson and Jaiswal scored fifties, and Chahal took a four-wicket haul, in Royals’ 72-run victory

Sreshth Shah02-Apr-20233:26

Moody: Sunrisers looked ‘rusty’, were never in the contest

Rajasthan Royals dominated the first half of their batting innings, racing to 122 for 1 in ten overs. And then they owned the first half of their bowling innings too, reducing Sunrisers Hyderabad to 52 for 6 in 11 overs.The two periods of play proved decisive and led last season’s runners-up to a 72-run victory to kickstart their 2023 campaign.It was all Royals from the first over of the game. Their top three of Jos Buttler, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Sanju Samson thumped half-centuries to give their team a record-breaking start: Royals posted their highest powerplay score (85) and also their fastest hundred in the IPL (in 7.4 overs). Even though their middle and lower order didn’t fire, the brutal hitting at the top ensured that the Royals posted the first 200-plus score of the season.The target of 204 was daunting against a strong Royals attack, and Trent Boult killed any hope of a successful chase by beginning with a double-wicket maiden. Yuzvendra Chahal then ran through the Sunrisers with a four-wicket haul. The margin of defeat was a blow to the Sunrisers’ net run rate, eerily similar to how their 2022 season began.Buttler begins like a bossJaiswal raced to 24 off 11 balls before Buttler raised his tempo even more, smacking Washington Sundar for successive sixes over midwicket and T Natarajan for four fours in five balls. Buttler then hit three fours in four balls off Afghanistan’s Fazalhaq Farooqi to bring up his fifty off 20 balls.By the time Buttler fell, Royals were 85 for 1 in 5.5 overs. Jaiswal then picked up the pace while Samson settled in; and Samson kept the momentum going when Jaiswal was dismissed for 54. He looked set for a huge score but was superbly caught by Abhishek Sharma on the edge of the long-on boundary for 55.Adil Rashid’s tidy spell in the middle overs, combined with improved second spells from Natarajan and Farooqi reduced the flow of runs. At one stage it seemed like Royals might fall just short of 200, but a late cameo from Shimron Hetmyer gave them 203.Jos Buttler slammed a fifty off 20 balls against Sunrisers Hyderabad•BCCI

Sunrisers sink fast in the chaseAfter Abhishek and Rahul Tripathi were out for ducks in Boult’s opening over, Harry Brook and Mayank Agarwal had the gargantuan task of repairing the innings while faced with a rising asking rate. It didn’t happen. Brook was bowled by Chahal googly, out for a 21-ball 13 in his maiden IPL innings.Jason Holder got Washington out cheaply with a short ball; Glenn Phillips hit R Ashwin straight to cover; and Chahal returned to cut short Agarwal’s innings. Chahal then had fellow legspinner Rashid stumped, and Bhuvneshwar playing all around a googly to have Sunrisers at 95 for 8. Abdul Samad’s unbeaten 32 helped them limp past 100, and they eventually finished with 131 for 8.Impact Players: Samad and SainiSunrisers’ Impact Player Samad had a better day out, compared to the Royals’ Impact Player Navdeep Saini. Samad walked in when Sunrisers were 48 for 5 as a replacement for Farooqi, and held one end up even as wickets kept falling. He reined in his shot-making instincts for the most part, looking to last till the end. He did that successfully, finishing on an unbeaten 32.Saini entered the game as Jaiswal’s replacement midway through the Sunrisers chase and had a tough outing. He bowled only three dots in his two-over spell, and conceded 34 at an economy of 17.

Two Aston Villa players played for England on Friday evening as they defeated Albania in what was Thomas Tuchel’s first game in charge of the Three Lions

Ezri Konsa started in the heart of the defence alongside Newcastle United’s man of the moment, Dan Burn, and they kept a clean sheet.

Morgan Rogers came off the bench to replace Curtis Jones with 15 minutes left to play, although the 22-year-old didn’t have time to create anything meaningful.

It was Konsa who was one of the stars of the show.

Ezri Konsa's game in numbers vs Albania

The defender was in no mood to allow Albania a chance of scoring, as he won six of his seven total contested duels while completing 94% of his passes and taking 125 touches during the game.

It was an impressive performance, to say the least, one that Tuchel will be happy with, not least due to the former Brentford man’s crucial, last-ditch challenge in the second half.

This could mean the Villa star will be given another start on Monday evening against Latvia as he looks to become one of the defenders Tuchel trusts.

His displays for the Midlands side have also been sublime this term and this has seen his market value rise steadily.

Indeed, according to Football Transfers, Konsa is now worth €44.3m (£37m) and this could increase even further.

One player in the current Villa squad who will be doing all he can to prove to Tuchel that he deserves a place in the England squad is Jacob Ramsey. The midfielder is even worth more than Konsa at the time of writing.

Aston Villa's next England star

Ramsey has made 16 appearances for the England U21 side during his career so far, scoring four goals in the process, but he hasn’t made the leap to senior level yet.

Could that change under Tuchel? This season, the academy graduate has played 34 times, scoring three goals and chipping in with five assists.

The 23-year-old has particularly impressed in the Champions League. indeed when compared to his positional peers in the competition,

Ramsey ranks in the top 1% for pass completion percentage (90.9%) while ranking in the top 6% for assists (0.57) and in the top 5% for shots on target percentage (66.7%) this season.

Lauded as a “special talent” by writer Sam Tabuteau in 2022, Ramsey is now finally showcasing the quality that made him one of the brightest youngsters in the Premier League a few seasons ago.

As such, his market value has also increased. According to Football Transfers, the Englishman is now worth €45.5m (£37.5m), which means he is worth even more than Konsa currently.

Should Ramsey continue this excellent run of form, he might well find himself part of the next England squad under the enigmatic German.

If so, he must take his chance as Konsa did against Albania, giving himself the best possible chance of making the squad for the 2026 World Cup in just over a year.

Cummins, Steven Smith, David Warner and Mitchell Starc are now the first all-format champions in the men’s game

Test mace in the bag, Ashes up next

At the MCG in 2015, Dubai in 2021 and now at The Oval in 2023, four Australian players have lifted a world title. Pat Cummins, Steven Smith, David Warner and Mitchell Starc are now the first all-format champions in the men’s game.Unlike the two white-ball trophies which, although built towards in the years beforehand, happen entirely over a month or six weeks, the World Test Championship is a two-year marathon towards the final. Rohit Sharma said he would like a best-of-three series while admitting the schedule would not allow it, but unsurprisingly Cummins was quite happy with the status quo.He wasn’t quite willing to give the world titles a hierarchy – “it’s probably like trying to pick your favourite kid,” he joked – but Test cricket remains the pinnacle for this group of players, taking nothing away from those who feature only in limited-overs cricket.Related

'Boland is now my favourite player' – Cummins and Australia savour WTC win

'Why cannot it be March?' – Rohit questions WTC final scheduling and venue

“They all feel a little bit different,” Cummins said. “We were just talking about that. No doubt Test matches for us are our favourite format. It’s the biggest challenge I think in every way. This competition pitting up against everyone in the world, it has got to be right up there.”Most pleasing for Cummins was how over the course of two years, Australia approached different challenges along the way. They were handed a tough overseas draw in this cycle with away series in Pakistan, Sri Lanka and India. They won only one of them – clinching victory in the final session of the final day in Lahore – but came away with three priceless wins overall, the last one in Indore securing their place in the final.”I think that’s one of the most satisfying bits,” Cummins said. “Obviously the win here, but to make it to the final, you have got to win everywhere in the world. I think this cycle was 20 Test matches. I think we might have only lost three or four out of the 20. The boys were fantastic the whole way through. We adapted well and that’s what makes it so satisfying.”Australia’s players can’t resist a photo-op with the Test mace•ICC/Getty Images

The narrative would obviously have been different had Australia not won this Test, but they were the best team of these two years. Dominant at home and scrapping hard to get vital points on the road. They were worthy of the decisive margin in the final, which left no room for questions, producing their slickest session in the field on the last morning after having been a little below their high standards at various points during the game.Scott Boland effectively ended the contest by dismissing Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja in the same over. Starc, who claimed Australia’s first wicket of the WTC cycle by knocking back Rory Burns’ leg stump at the Gabba, and the ultra-consistent Nathan Lyon then did the rest.It has been almost impossible to divorce this final from what comes next, with the Ashes beginning on Friday. It has felt like a perfect tune-up, particularly with the final day not becoming a slog as could have been the case (and no doubt billions dreamed for) when Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane resumed in the morning.”I think everyone played their role in this game at different parts,” Cummins said. “Plenty of the batters faced quite a few balls. I think by the end of the game, all of us bowlers felt like we had hit a rhythm. I feel we have that good balance of feeling like we’re ready to go but also fresh and ready for five Tests.”The flip side is that the celebrations will need to be somewhat measured with just four days before they take the field against England. “We can’t celebrate as hard as we would like to with a game not too far away, but we have to be proud of our achievements for sure,” Smith said.Cummins, though, was determined that his team did not let this achievement wash over them.”It’s been an amazing two years,” he said. “We’ve had this final in the diary for a while. It’s been something that we had been building up for, so it is something we are going to savour. I know we have got a big series but we can worry about that in a couple of days’ time.”You only get a few of these moments in your career where you can sit back, acknowledge a pretty special achievement and that’s one of these times.”
