The Ashes is underway in Australia, and both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood have missed the opening fixture at Perth. This has been a massive blow to the Aussies, as they do not have two of their best bowlers in that breathtaking fast bowling trio.
The earlier reports had just claimed that Pat Cummins had been ruled out of the first Test, with his return anticipated anytime in the series. Cummins last played for Australia during their Test series in the Caribbean.
"Probably on track, if not probably better than I would have thought a month or so ago. You know a lot can go wrong when you go from nothing to trying to build up. Fortunately, so far everything has felt great and it's coming out really well."
"Currently, I am going out in three-day cycles at the moment, so you kind of ball and I have been bowling, say upto 10 overs and then have kind of 2 or 4 rest days, let the bone and body recover and then go again. You kind of tick that box and move to the next session," he added.

Hazlewood went on to prepare for the Ashes with the Sheffield Shield games for New South Wales; however, he sustained an injury to his hamstring. This injury initially ruled him out of the Perth Test, and now, with a delayed recovery, he has been ruled out of the second Test at Brisbane as well.
Australia limp halfway through their innings with not half of the runs on the board
Australia packed up the First Day with England staging a stunning comeback with the ball after the Australian bowlers had restricted England to a very low total. The Aussies finally went past the 100-run mark after Alex Carey and Mitchell Starc scored some crucial runs.
