The latest series begins in Perth on November 22 with the Australians attempting to overturn defeats to the Indians in 2018-19 and 2020-21, when India edged a four-Test series 2-1 with a three-wicket win in the final clash in Brisbane. “The couple of home series I’ve played against India there’s always an element of attrition to them,” said Cummins. “The last series came down to the last session at the Gabba on the last day of the last Test match. That’s a good thing to keep in mind. It is a long series, and it might be tightly held until the last game, so you’ve got to manage your resources throughout.”

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
