Australia cricket team shocked, Pat Cummins out of the series against these 2 countries

This decision has been taken regarding Cummins’ fitness before the Ashes series at home in November. Because in the scan, his back is detected ‘Stretch in the wood’. The problem came to light this year during a regular investigation after Australia’s World Test Championship Final and West Indies tour. Cricket Australia confirmed that there was no fracture in the scan, but the stretch in the bone was so much that rest and rehab were needed.

Let me tell you that since 2021, Cummins has been very load in Test cricket, since then he has been out of two Tests due to injury. During this time, Australia won the World Test Championship title under his captaincy and kept the Ashes with them. Then won the 2023 ODI World Cup title in India.

Cummins has been one of Australia’s continuous performance in recent times, but has an old relationship with back injuries. But since his debut in 2011, he was very upset due to stress fracture in the back. In 2017, he made a complete return, since then he has not been a part of only one in the 20 Tests played against England.

If Cummins is not fully fit by the first match of the Ashes series in Perth, Scott Bolland can replace him in the fast bowling attack. At the same time, Steve Smith can be seen captaining as he did in the Test series against Sri Lanka earlier this year.
