Australia selectors ponder Lyon role amid pace push

Melbourne, Aug 26 - As Australia's test bowling lineup shifts towards an all-pace assault, selectors are grappling with the dilemma of Nathan Lyon's position. The iconic spinner, Australia's second-highest test wicket-taker of all time, has been a fixture in the team for over a decade. However, with the pace attack boasting Mitchell Starc, Pat Cummins, and Josh Hazlewood, Lyon's role is under scrutiny for the upcoming series against South Africa and New Zealand.

After missing the last two Ashes tests due to injury, Lyon made a comeback for Bangladesh, where he struggled against spin-bowling all-rounder Mehidy Hasan Miraz. Despite taking 1-125 in the opening match, Lyon's absence from the second test raised doubts about his future in the team. Despite his best efforts, Lyon's place in the side seems uncertain as the selectors weigh their options for an all-pace attack.
