The Indian cricket team will aim for glory in the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Australia. India and Australia are two of the greatest cricketing nations, and India’s recent whitewash against a 3-game Test series against New Zealand adds a lot more anticipation for the 5-match Test series, which will start on November 22, 2024, in Perth.

Alex Carey is in his “best form of life” after a little change in technique before to the Border-Gavaskar Trophy

A subtle adjustment to his batting stance has proven to be the catalyst that has propelled Australia wicketkeeper batter Alex Carey into the form of his life as he heads into the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. The 33-year-old wicketkeeper-batter is the leading run-getter in the first four rounds of Sheffield Shield matches this season, scoring 452 runs at an astonishing average of 90.4.

Carey said that he got the opportunity to “muck round” during the six-month break over the winter.

He added that the new stance, where he holds his bat up a little higher, affords him additional reaction time.

Carey not only enters the marquee five-match Test series against India as their most in-form player but also in “the best form he’s been in,” according to teammate Travis Head.

Head reckons the wicketkeeper will play an influential role in series against India, starting here on Friday.

However in a surprise move, Australia also named wicketkeeper batter Josh Inglis in the squad for the series opener.

Inglis boasts the only superior Sheffield Shield batting average, an astounding 99, along with the same number of centuries as Carey.But Carey is not bothered by Inglis’ inclusion.
