We’ll give him as much time as possible to get himself ready, but certainly continue to take a cautious approach.” The third and final test takes place in Mumbai at the start of November.    Get our pick of top stories and thought-provoking articles in your inbox Stay updated with notifications for breaking news and our best stories Get WhatsApp alerts Join our channel for the top reads for the day on your preferred chat app Copyright© Mediacorp 2024.
