Pat Cummins provides an injury update and expresses optimism on his return for the ODI World Cup.

In the Ashes series, Pat Cummins guided Australia to a 2-2 tie, assisting the World Test Champions in keeping the urn. The star all-rounder, though, fractured his wrist during the fifth Test at the Oval, as determined by scans. Regarding his participation in the upcoming ODI World Cup, fans were worried. To clear things up and provide a projected return date, Cummins, however, has disclosed the full extent of his injuries.

The 30-year-old recently disclosed that the injury isn’t too serious and that he anticipates playing again during the ODI series against India in September, right before the ODI World Cup. Prior to the India tour, Cummins will be going with the team for a five-match ODI series against South Africa; however, the extent of his injury at that time will determine whether or not he plays against Temba Bavuma’s team. He is optimistic that he can contribute throughout the three-match ODI series against India.

It’s not all that horrible. At the conclusion of that leg, I’ll travel to South Africa, although I’ll likely play more one-day matches before the World Cup. After a few more weeks, I’ll be correct. I felt a lot of pain the first day I did it and when I was batting, but I didn’t think it was too horrible. “I knew it was probably bone rather than muscle because it got a little sorer every day,” Cummins was quoted as saying by CRICKETMOOD.

With his strong performance in India, Pat Cummins will be key for Australia in the ODI World Cup.

Fast bowling isn’t really favored in Indian circumstances. But over the years, a few of talented pacers have managed to achieve noteworthy success in the cricket-obsessed country. One of them is undoubtedly Pat Cummins, the captain of Australia.

The right-arm seamer has taken 20 wickets at an average of 30.05 and a strike rate of 36.40 in the 13 one-day internationals that Cummins has played in India. He has kept a tight rein on the batters as seen by his miserly economy rate of 4.95. A player to keep an eye on during the upcoming World Cup in October-November is Cummins.
