Pat cummins almost ready for Miss ICC Champions Trophy© BCCI/Sportzps
Only a couple of weeks before the start of the ICC champions trophy, Australia has suffered a great blow, since its pattern Pat Cummins is close to being discarded from the competition. Australia coach Andrew McDonald launched the bomb on Wednesday, confirming that Cummins has not yet resumed the type of bowling that was expected. Therefore, it is unlikely to recover physical aptitude before ICC’s global event begins. In the absence of Cummins, one from Travis Head and Steve Smith will have the responsibility of leading Australia.
Cummins has had a greatly influential impact on Australia’s performances, either on Cricket or Odi Test. His absence leaves Australia with a great headache, not only in terms of leadership but also in the department of rhythm bowling.
“Pat Cummins has not been able to resume any kind of bowling, so it is very unlikely, so that we would mean that we need a captain,” Australia Andrew McDonald told Sen. “Steve Smith and Travis Head are the two with which we have been having conversations while we have been building that team of Champions Trophy along with Pat Back Home. They will be the two we see for that leadership post.
“They are the two obvious. Steve has done a great job here in the [first] Test match. He has also done a good job at the International Cricket of a day throughout the trip. Then it is between those two. “
It is likely that Australia is also without another pacemaker in the form of Josh Hazlewood for the Champions Trophy. Although Hazlewood has not yet ruled out, it is likely that the clarity about its availability arrives in a couple of days.
“But, as I said, Patty is very unlikely, which is a bit of shame, and we also have Josh Hazlewood, who is fighting [to be fit] at the moment. So that medical information will land in the next few days and we can underpin that and let everyone know the address. “
