Pat cummins photo file (AFP Photo). Captain Australia Test Pat Cummins will probably miss the first Ashes test against England due to lower back injury. He could even miss the entire series of five tests from November 21 in Perth. The stellar pitch has not yet started bowling and needs 4-6 weeks of training to be ready for the match, so its participation in the opening “effectively impossible”, Code Sports reports.According to the Australian media, the recent scan shows that his back is healing, but the medical staff is careful in the hurry of his return. They want to protect his long -term health, especially due to his importance for the team as the captain and the Premier Fast Bowler.Go beyond the border with our YouTube channel.

He explained that he is currently limited to working in the gym and bike, focusing on rest, while he is gradually being rebuilt on bowling.The former Australian rapid pitch Brett Lee emphasized the same media drain, which is the importance of cummins who are fully fit before returning. “It is better to wait for 100 % fit, because what they do not want to do is play it in the first test, 90 or 80 percent of the fit, and he goes and hurts his back again. Then he is Buggerred all summer,” Lee said.If cummins are missing, Steve Smith takes over as a captain, and Scott Boland joined the bowling attack. Meanwhile, Josh Hazlewood and Mitchell Starc are preparing for a series of playing White Ball against India and Sheffield Shield.Cummins has been remarkably resistant since its return test in 2017, which is missing only a few matches. This year he reached a milestone and became an eighth Australian superior to take 300 test goals. His latest absence was during the tour in Sri Lanka when he took time off at the birth of his second child and recovered from the ankle injury.
