Cummins continues to recover from a back injury and has not bowled since Australia’s last Test against the West Indies in July. Cricket Australia has not yet made any decision regarding his return to bowling or his availability. With just over six weeks remaining, Cummins’ chances of featuring in the first Test are slim.
“Myself and Patty have spoken about that type of timeframe," McDonald was quoted as saying by ICC.
“And if you were to do a soft tissue injury early in a series like the Ashes, then it’s a long way back from where he’s been. So we’ll be mindful of all those risk factors."
Some Positive Signs is Speaking to Pat Cummins - Andrew McDonald
"It's a big couple of weeks, we've added some variables into his training in the last couple of weeks and had a positive result there," McDonald said.
"A couple of weeks ago, did he think he was a chance (to play in Perth)? Potentially not, he was a little bit sore. Then you flip it forward two weeks and there's a lot more positivity. We've still got a little bit to go."
We're Starting to Get Tight in Terms of Times - Andrew McDonald
"One of the benefits with Patty is that he has had the ability to prepare for Test matches off shortened preparations. So if it was to be shrunken down, we'd be very confident that he would still be able to perform in the first Test.
There is an eight-day break after each of the first two Tests of the series, allowing Australia to manage their fast-bowling resources. If Pat Cummins requires extra recovery time, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Scott Boland might be able to bowl through the Adelaide Test without needing rest.
