IND vs AUS: The mistake of Nagpur Test, which became heavy, Australia is making mistakes on the tour of India – harbhajan singh have some suggestions for australia team vs india for test series

Mumbai: Australia are 0-2 against India in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy and former Indian off-spinner Harbhajan Singh believes that ignoring left-arm spinner Ashton Agar for the Nagpur Test was a big mistake by Australia. Australia had entered this series with a record of being unbeaten in 10 consecutive matches, but had to face big defeats in Nagpur and Delhi in just three days.

Australia landed in Nagpur in the first Test without playing any warm-up matches. The Australian team claimed that the camps set up in Sydney and Alur in Karnataka were sufficient for them. Australia made some surprising selection decisions, including leaving out batsman Travis Head for the first Test in Nagpur. Australia lost the First Test by an innings and 132 runs and the Second Test by six wickets.


Another major decision, according to Harbhajan Singh, was the omission of left-arm spinner Ashton Agar for the Nagpur Test. Australia were troubled by injuries to their key players Mitchell Starc, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Swepson. They called in debutant left arm spinner Matthew Kuhneman and dropped David Warner and Hazlewood while Swepson returned home due to the birth of her child.

He said, ‘The Australian team looked empty. Left arm spinner Ashton Agar was released. But he could have been a better choice. Australia played two off-spinners which was a big mistake. Agar is a talented bowler. Agar’s return to the Test side after a long hiatus ended without bowling a single ball in the match. Australian selector Tony Dodemide has defended the decision to drop Agar. Agar will play in Western Australia’s next Sheffield Shield match on March 2 and the Marsh Cup final on March 8.
