The Australian Test side has been handed a major blow as the Pat Cummins-led team will miss the services of spinner Nathan Lyon for the remainder of Ashes 2023. It is to be noted that Lyon had suffered the injury on Day 2 of the second Ashes Test at the Lord’s.

 

The Australia veteran, who has played a key role in the series so far, sustained the injury while running to complete a flying catch on Day 2 of second Ashes Test at the Lord’s Cricket Ground. He later missed the entire day but came out to bat in the third inning of the match.

 

After the completion of the second Test of the Ashes series, Australian skipper Pat Cummins confirmed that Lyon will miss mostly miss the rest of the Ashes with calf strain. While addressing the post-match press conference on Sunday, July 2, the skipper was asked of Lyon’s availability for the rest for the series.

 

Answering the question, Cummins said, “I wasn’t particularly happy but he was pretty keen to get out there. H e did an amazing job. I would imagine he is (out of the series).”

 

The Aussie off-spinner after being lauded for taking the field despite suffering an injury was quoted, “I wanted to bat, it was my call. Pat (Cummins) was probably a bit hesitant but I’d do anything for this team and I’d do it again tomorrow.”

 

Australia currently stands  2-0 up in the five-match  series after winning the second Test by 43 runs on Sunday, July 2. Australian vice-captain Steve Smith was named the Player of the Match after his 110-run knock off 184 deliveries in the first inning. The next and third Ashes Test will be played from 6-10 July at the Headingley in Leeds.
