Nathan lyon dropped from playing eleven: Australia’s team has gone on a West Indies tour, where a three -match Test series is being played. The playing XI of this match surprised everyone. The player was out of the Australia team, which has been a part of the team for 12 years. Australia made spin bowler Nathan Lion out in the third Test. It is not that Lion is not taking wickets, but still Lion’s sitting outside is indicating something else.

Why Nathan Lion out?

Australia has replaced Nathan Lion in the team in the third Test against West Indies. The big reason behind this is the ground of the third Test match. This day-night pink ball match between West Indies and Australia is being played at Sabina Park Cricket Stadium. Fast bowlers get more help than spin on this ground. For this reason, fast bowler Scott Bolland has been included in place of spinner Lion. No information has been revealed about his retirement when Lion is out in this match.

Lion will retire?

Nathan Lion has been in Australia’s team continuously for the last 12 years. Lion was out of Australia’s playing XI in the match against England during the Ashes series. At the same time, this player had to sit out in three Tests of the Ashes series due to injury in 2023. But this is the first time while staying fit in these 12 years that Lion is not a part of the team. These players have played all Test matches since then fit. Lion may once again join Australia’s squad in the next Test series. This player has not announced his retirement from Test cricket.
