AUS vs NZ: The Australian team has taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the first match of the 2-match Test series being played on the New Zealand tour by 172 runs. In this match, the most important contribution to the victory of the Kangaroo team was seen from experienced off-spinner Nathan Lyon, who along with taking a total of 10 wickets in the match, also contributed 46 runs with the bat. Regarding this brilliant performance of Lion, Australian captain Pat Cummins has also given a big statement and said that the day he announces his retirement, he will leave the captaincy.

I would love for him to play till 2027

Regarding Nathan Lyon, Pat Cummins said in the press conference after the Wellington Test match that it is a good thing that Lyon bowls with a lot of control. This is a very good thing for us. I want him to play till 2027 but the only problem is how his body responds. If he is successful in keeping his body fit, he can easily play 10 Tests in a year. I would love for him to play till 2027. Yes, I have definitely told him that the day he announces his retirement, I will leave the captaincy because it makes my life a lot easier. If you look at the statistics of his fourth innings, he has bowled brilliantly everywhere from India to New Zealand, his records explain it completely.

Australia's 17th win against New Zealand in the last 20 tests.
