Lyon Wants To Win Away Series In India, England And Another WTC Title Before Retirement

By IANS News July 01, 2025 • 11:12 AM View: 588

World Test Championship Final: Australia spinner Nathan Lyon has no thoughts of retiring just yet as the 37-year-old veteran wants to win away series in England and India along with another World Test Championship title before the end of his career.

Lyon played a major role in Australia's first victory in the World Test Championship Final against India in 2023 and was part of the side that fell to South Africa in the decider at Lord's last month.

Lyon, who handed the leadership of the victory song to Alex Carey following Australia's 159-run series opening win over West Indies in Barbados, after holding the role for more than 12 years, hopes he has still got plenty of renditions left in him as a player.
