AUS vs SA: Australia suffer triple injury blow before South Africa ODI series
Australia have been hit with a major late blow ahead of their three-match ODI series against South Africa, set to begin on August 19 in Cairns. Three players—Mitchell Owen, Lance Morris, and Matt Short—have all been ruled out due to injury concerns Owen has been sidelined by a concussion after being struck on the grille of his helmet by a Kagiso Rabada bouncer during the second T20I in Darwin. Although he passed the on-field assessment, delayed symptoms forced him into the mandatory 12-day concussion protocol, ruling him out of both the T20I decider and the entire ODI series, postponing his planned ODI debut advertisementShort, who had already missed the first two T20Is with a side strain sustained during the West Indies tour, has not recovered in time and thus been ruled out of the white-ball matches—including the ODIs. Morris is also out, having reported lower back soreness during training. He returned to Perth for further evaluation, and his fitness concerns now extend beyond the ODI series, affecting his availability for the Australia A tour of response, the selectors have drafted in Aaron Hardie, Matthew Kuhnemann, and Cooper Connolly as replacements, with the ODI series scheduled for August 19 (Cairns), August 22 and 24 (both in Mackay).T20I series set for thrilling deciderAustralia entered their T20I series against South Africa in red-hot form, riding an eight-match winning streak dating back to late 2024.

No Shubman Gill In Asia Cup Despite 750+ Runs In England? Report Says, "Struggle..."
Will Shubman Gill be picked for the Asia Cup? After a super India vs England Test series, where the skipper in the longest format slammed over 750 run in five matches, the general opinion is that he will be picked for the T20I side on a regular basis from now on. Gill last played in T20Is in July 2024. Since then, India have played series against England, Bangladesh and South Africa but Gill did not get a game. Though he has a century in T20Is, a report in RevSportz has claimed that Gill is 'not' a certainty for Asia Cup squad. The report also claimed that "to say that Gill will be picked and made vice captain is premature" and 'might struggle' to find a place in a 'set' team. The report's logic is that there is no question over Gill's form or class, but the T20I team is quite a set combination and giving him a place in the side will be unjust to others. According to sources close to developments, to accommodate Gill in the XI, Sanju Samson has to be pushed down the order. Apart from Samson, the other Indian opener is Abhishek Sharma is the number-one ranked T20 batter while Tilak Varma generally bats at No. 3 spot. The report added that "to include Gill could mean not doing justice to the others." The newly-appointed Test skipper, Shubman Gill, ate a massive chunk of batting record books following a 754 run outing during the tour of England, which saw him score four centuries in five matches and walk away with the 'Player of the Series' honours. Already a force to be reckoned with in ODIs, having scored 2,775 runs and 22 fifty-plus scores in 55 ODIs, there have been temptations to play him in the upcoming T20 Asia Cup, starting from September 9 onwards. India will kickstart their campaign from September 10 against the UAE. There have been media reports that Gill could make his return to the T20I team, possibly as a vice-captain. As per reports, he could be in line to receive the ODI leadership once current skipper Rohit Sharma calls it quits, as per ESPNCricinfo. The question is, does Gill fit in India's T20I plans?. His most recent T20 outing was in the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2025, where he scored 650 runs at a strike rate of almost 156, with six fifties in 15 matches and emerged as the fourth-highest run-getter. He is also identified as one of the faces which could dominate all format cricket for India in the coming decade. But the selection process is still complex, as last time when India played a full-fledged T20I squad, Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli were still around in the T20 World Cup 2024, with Gill as a travelling reserve outside the main 15 players. Since then, scheduling and injuries have influenced India's selection in T20Is. After the WC, Gill led a second-string Indian side to series win in Zimbabwe, and July 2024 was the last time he played T20Is for India. He ended the year 2024 with 266 runs in eight T20Is at an average of 38.00, strike rate of 133 and two fifties from the Zimbabwe series, improving his stats overall to 578 runs in 21 matches and innings at an average of 30.42, with a strike rate of over 139, a century and three fifties following an inconsistent string of scores in the start of his T20I career. Gill was appointed as Suryakumar Yadav 's deputy for the T20I series in July, and as Test cricket took priority, Gill was not picked for T20Is, with Sanju Samson, Abhishek Sharma and Tilak Varma emerging as India's new top three.

While India have enjoyed near-total dominance over Pakistan in ICC World Cups — winning 15 out of 16 matches, including an 8-0 clean sweep in ODI World Cups and a 7-1 record in T20 World Cups — their Asia Cup record is similarly tilted in their favour too.

India lead the Asia Cup head-to-head 10–6, with two matches ending as no result. The title tally also favours India, who have lifted the trophy eight times compared to Pakistan's two. EXCLUSIVE: India to boycott Pakistan in Asia Cup? Harbhajan Singh says, 'Khoon aur paani ek saath nahi beh sakte' The rivalry has produced memorable contests. From India's inaugural 54-run win in 1984 to the record 228-run thrashing in 2023, each meeting has carried high stakes. Pakistan's biggest Asia Cup win came in 1995 by 97 runs, while their most recent triumph was a five-wicket T20I win in 2022.

This year's Asia Cup, to be held in the UAE from September 9–28, will follow the T20I format and feature eight teams. India are drawn in Group A alongside Pakistan, UAE, and Oman, while Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, Afghanistan, and Hong Kong make up Group B. Though India are the designated hosts, Indo-Pak fixtures will continue to be staged at neutral venues under an arrangement between the BCCI and PCB. With India's ICC record casting a long shadow — and a 10–6 Asia Cup edge already established — the September clash will be more than just a group-stage match: it will be another chapter in cricket's most-watched rivalry.
