Aussie skipper Pat Cummins targets return from injury during India tour, says 'it's not too bad'
Australia skipper Pat Cummins has targeted a return from injury during the India tour in September as his side builds for the ODI World Cup. Cummins, injured on the opening day of the final Ashes Test at the Oval, is unlikely to feature in the South Africa tour, despite him travelling for the ODI leg. According to medical reports, Cummins could bematch-fit for the South Africa series, but his realistic target is the India tour before the ODI World Cup warm-up matches.
Cummins targets India tour
"It's not too bad. I'll head over to South Africa at the backend of that leg, but probably more those one-dayers ahead of the World Cup. Another few weeks and I'll be right,” Cummins said on Tuesday, August 15 while speaking to Australian media.
On the opening day of the Oval Test, Pat Cummins injured his right wrist but continued playing in the contest. However, as the match progressed, the injury became sorer resulting in long-term issues. The Aussies also lost the contest on the final day,failing to end their 22-year drought for anAshes win on English soil.
"It hurt day one when I did it and hurt a lot when I was batting but didn't think it was too bad. With each day it got a bit sorer, so knew it was probably bone as opposed to muscle,” the skipper added on the injury.
