'Doesn't Make Sense': Clarke Questions CA's Decision Of Capping Lyon's County Stint
Around The Wicket: Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has raised questions over Cricket Australia's decision to cap the number of matches Nathan Lyon plays in his County Championship stint with Lancashire, adding that it "doesn't make sense" to him.
Lyon, 36, had initially signed up with Lancashire to play the entire 2024 English domestic season across all three formats. But a discussion with Australia's selection committee saw his stint being reduced to playing only red-ball matches, which means he can make just seven County Championship appearances for Lancashire.
"We've seen in his career he's a much better bowler the more he bowls. I'd rather see him play cricket than, what's he going to do, come home and do a pre-season? Rip a hamstring or a calf trying to do a 2km time trial?
