The Ashes is the next set target for Team Australia after they end the 5-match T20I series against India. The Indian T20I series has begun in Canberra, with rain playing the spoilsport again. Australia, who are at the top of the ICC World Test Championship table, are expected to continue their good run in the home Ashes.
Pat Cummins has been ruled out of competitive cricket for nearly 4 months now. He played last in Australia's tour to the West Indies in July and then faced a soreness in his back, which was later diagnosed as a lumbar stress injury.
However, what seemed strange was Cummins's short run-up during the net session. He bowled off a five-step run-up, which implied that he is not ready for a comeback yet, but has taken such steps to accelerate his comeback.
Andrew McDonald expects Pat Cummins' return for the Second Test
Earlier, Cummins had reported that he would not back a comeback to international cricket before a practice session of 4-6 weeks, which was also later confirmed by Andrew McDonald, the Australian head coach.
"It's never going to be a clear time frame," said the Australian coach on Cummins' return
McDonald also said further that nothing can be said about a specific time frame for Cummins' return, since the type of injury that he has faced is not a blow, but rather due to continuous stress due to workload. As a result of this, Cummins was not even forced to reduce his timeline for a comeback ahead of the white-ball series against India.
"With the nature of this injury, it's never going to be a clear time frame ... I would never put the medical team under that sort of duress either," he added.
