Nothing to prove for Lyon as he targets Adelaide return

Adelaide, Dec 15 (UNI) Nathan Lyon has missed two of the last three Test matches that Australia have played; on both occasions, the management preferred an extra pacer in pink-ball day-night fixtures.
Despite his recent absence from the national setup, the 38-year-old is eager to represent Australia in Adelaide against England. The ground is known to provide extra assistance to spinners in Australia.
"I've played 140 Test matches, I feel like I don't have a point to prove to anyone. I'm very clear on my role within this Australian cricket team. I love playing with everyone in that change room, and love representing Australia,” Lyon told reporters ahead of Adelaide Test.
