Ashes: Cummins, Lyon Return To Australia XI For Adelaide Test, Khawaja Misses Out

By IANS News December 16, 2025 • 10:17 AM View: 546

Skipper Pat Cummins and veteran spinner Nathan Lyon have returned to the Australia's playing XI for the crucial third Test at Adelaide Oval.

Allrounder Michael Neser is the unluckiest of Australia's two omissions from their eight-wicket win at the Gabba, with fellow seamer Brendan Doggett also making way.
