US EditionHead's Hundred and Cummins' Possible Return Could Shake up Australia's Lineup for the 2nd Ashes Test
Pat Cummins is recovering well from a back injury and has a 'half a chance' to play in the second Ashes Test starting Dec. 4 in Brisbane, officials said.
- Pat Cummins says he is on track to play the Brisbane Test starting December 4 and rated himself 'half a chance', hopeful compared with a few weeks ago.
- Cummins missed the series opener in Perth after sustaining a lower back injury four months ago and has been bowling in the nets with the team.
- After bowling sessions in Perth, Cummins had a big day of around 10 overs then lighter days, and he plans a couple more bowling sessions with about two weeks before the next Test.
- If fit, Pat Cummins would likely displace Brendan Doggett and bolster Australia's pace attack with fellow quick Josh Hazlewood injured and unlikely to be fit for the Brisbane Test.
- Travis Head's move to opener and quick century reshaped Australia's lineup amid Usman Khawaja's back spasms, which may make him a doubtful starter for the second Test.
