After India’s defeat in the first Test, claims of internal disagreements in the Australian dressing room began to surface. Former wicketkeeper Adam Gilchrist stated that there seems to be a divide within the team.
His comments came after fast bowler Josh Hazlewood’s press conference, where he expressed frustration on the third day of the first Test, saying that if the team keeps losing wickets quickly, the batters should be asked about it, as he had already shifted his focus to the next Test.
Gilchrist commented that Hazlewood’s frustration indicated that not everything was right within the team. Former England captain Michael Vaughan also noted that he had never heard such comments from an Australian cricketer publicly, calling it the first time a player was openly focusing on the next match during an ongoing game.
Meanwhile, captain Pat Cummins denied the reports of team divisions, stating that they are still the number one team in the Test format and will make a strong comeback in the next match.
