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 be&nbsp;match-fit for the South Africa series, but his realistic target is the India tour before the ODI World Cup warm-up matches.

<h2>Cummins targets India tour</h2>

"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,&nbsp;failing to end their 22-year drought for an&nbsp;Ashes 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.

Aussie skipper Pat Cummins targets return from injury during India tour, says 'it's not too bad'

Australia could be dealt a major blow before the start of the ODI World Cup as skipper Pat Cummins could miss the upcoming series against India in September. The Aussies will be in India for a three-match ODI Series after the Asia Cup 2023 as they try to set the tone for the upcoming World Cup in October. If Cummins does miss the ODI series, it will be the second time in the year that Australia will do without their star man against India, having also sat out in March due to the death of his mother.

<h2>Cummins to miss the ODI series vs India?</h2>

According to a report published by the Press Trust of India (PTI), the India series could come early for the Aussie skipper as he nurses a broken wrist. He played the final Ashes Test at the Oval with a broken wrist, where Australia lost to England in the final session. While it was hoped, he could recover for the Pre-World Cup duties; it is now thought that the team management does not want any risk to be taken before the World Cup and could rest Cummins for the series.

"Two sources with knowledge of the matter but not authorised to speak publicly say medical staff have not ruled out a possible fracture," according to the 'Sydney Morning Herald'.

This will be the second time in 2023 Cummins will miss the ODI series against India having not been part of the squad that won in March. The Aussie skipper had to rush back home after he lost his mother. In his absence, Steve Smith led the side and was instrumental in the team’s success.

However, Cricket Australia (CA) is now planning for a long-term vision that could see Mitchell Marsh lead the side in Cummins’ absence. Marsh could also be soon named as Australia’s captain for the T20I side after the retirement of Aaron Finch in 2022.

The CA will soon announce the squad for the upcoming South Africa and India tour before the Aussies target a record sixth ODI World Cup.
