Ravichandran Ashwin said that he felt like he was being "thrown under the bus" when then India head coach Ravi Shastri said that Kuldeep Yadav said that Kuldeep Yadav was India's lead overseas spinner after the latter took five wickets in the 2019 Sydney Test against Australia. Ashwin said that recurring injuries meant that he was playing under "excruciating pain" when he took three wickets in each innings to lead India to victory in the first Test.
"The first Test seemed like a distant memory by then," Ashwin told ESPNCricinfo, talking about his mental state by the time of the final Test of the series. "I had taken three of the first four wickets in the first innings after we were bowled out cheaply, and then when it got really flat in the final innings, I plugged away for 50-plus overs and took three wickets despite what turned out to be a grade three abdomen tear.

England captain Joe Root was injured during the pre-game warm-ups and did not take the field for the start of day four of the second Ashes Test.
Root was hit in the abdomen while batting in the nets ahead of Sunday’s play at Adelaide Oval.
Allrounder Ben Stokes will stand in as captain as the tourists seek to avoid defeat in Adelaide and go two-nil down in the five-Test series.
Australia resumed on Sunday at 1-45 in its second innings, with a dominant lead of 282 runs.

The Buccaneers' first injury report of Week 14 was eight players long and featured six who were either limited in practice on Wednesday or held out completely. As Head Coach Bruce Arians noted right after the conclusion of practice the four players who didn't participate were cornerback Jamel Dean, defensive lineman Will Gholston, center Ryan Jensen and safety Jordan Whitehead. The two limited players were guard Ali Marpet (abdomen) and defensive lineman Vita Vea (knee), both of whom continue to deal with injuries that did not keep them out of last Sunday's game in Atlanta.
The Buccaneers opened their week of practice on Wednesday at walk-through speed but four players were not able to participate in that exercise. That includes two players with new injuries from last Sunday's game in Atlanta: cornerback Jamel Dean with a concussion and center Ryan Jensen with an ankle ailment.

The Buccaneers listed a season-high 13 players on their Friday practice report. Most of those, including receiver Mike Evans and linebacker Jason Pierre-Paul, are available for Sunday’s game.
Receiver Antonio Brown is the only player ruled out on the team’s status report.
“We’ll have some guys that will go up, work out and see how they are feeling,” Bucs coach Bruce Arians said. “We will possibly have all hands on deck or possibly not have a couple.”
Left guard Ali Marpet is doubtful after injuring his abdomen in Monday night’s victory over the Giants.
“He will be a game-time decision,” Arians said.
Arians said the same about nose tackle Vita Vea and inside linebacker Devin White. Both are listed as questionable after limited practices Friday.
