Cummins is set to miss the 2025-26 Ashes opener in Perth on November 21 due to his ongoing back injury.
When asked to pick the playing XI he has played with for Australia in Tests, Pat Cummins picked David Warner as one of the openers along with Travis Head. The right-arm fast bowler backed Head to open the innings despite playing in the middle order during red-ball matches.
Michael Clarke, who captained the team in Cummins' maiden Test, came in next. Cummins went for Michael Hussey at No. 6, who played several memorable knocks during the side's dominant run. Hussey scored 6,235 in 79 Tests at an average of 51.53, including 19 centuries and 29 half-centuries.
