Three test

New South Wales:  Australia’s veteran off-spinner Nathan Lyon said he is confident of coming to the Test team ahead of the upcoming home summer after recovering from a calf injury sustained during the second Ashes Test in July this year.

Lyon, playing in his 100th consecutive Test match during the second Ashes Test at Lord’s, pulled up sharply after running in to take a catch of Ben Duckett off the bowling of Cameron Green in the leg-side after tea in the 37th over.

Though he did face 13 balls with the bat and got a standing ovation from the crowd as Australia won the match at Lord’s, Lyon was diagnosed with a significant calf strain and eventually ruled out for rest of the series.
