Australia's Fast-Bowling Culture Inspires Young Guns
Australia's fast-bowling culture has inspired two young players from India, who trained with the national team's Test squad in Brisbane. The duo, Vasudev Prasad Singh and Abhishek Moond, were part of the MRF Pace Foundation Program, which aims to develop young fast bowlers.
What Happened?
The two young players trained with the Australian Test squad from July 13 to July 24 at the Cricket Australia's National Cricket Centre (NCC) in Brisbane. They also attended training sessions involving the Australian men's Test squad at the Allan Border Field.
Why it Matters for Australia
The experience was a huge confidence booster for the young players, who got to learn from the best in the business. They rubbed shoulders with two of the world's best fast bowlers, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, and learned the finer aspects of fast bowling in conditions that reward pace and discipline.
What Comes Next?
The young players are now back in India, but they will never forget the experience they had in Australia. They will take the lessons they learned from the Australian Test squad back to their own teams and continue to develop their skills.
Last result: Australia 1-1 Egypt (2026-07-03). Recent form (last 5): 1W-3D-1L (DDLWD, most recent first). Next fixture: vs Brazil (at home, 2026-09-25).
