Brendan Doggett, a 32-year-old Australian bowler, is currently training in India in anticipation of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Doggett has not played in a competitive game since February 2026 as he continues to recuperate from a severe hamstring injury. He is presently preparing for two four-day matches against India A in Puducherry in order to return to Test cricket.
On Thursday, September 18, Brendan Doggett visited Chepauk in Chennai to capture photographs with his Australia A teammate, Jhye Richardson. The Australian pacer was compelled to alter his Melbourne Renegades shirt during the practice due to the intense humidity in Chennai. This acclimatization training is part of Australia’s preparation for the five-match Test series against India, which commences in January 2027.
