Pat Cummins Eyes T20 World Cup: Australian captain Pat Cummins, who returned in the Adelaide Test after a long injury, had decided to keep himself out of the last two Test matches of the series after winning the Ashes. Cummins had taken this decision to keep himself fit. Cummins is eyeing a comeback in the team for the T20 World Cup to be hosted by India and Sri Lanka next year. Of course, Cummins is not a part of the team, but he remains with the team and is boosting the confidence of his teammates.
During lunch during the fourth Test starting on Friday in Melbourne, Pat Cummins said on Channel 7 that he is very happy to have escaped injury in the Adelaide Test. He was recovering from a back injury, so playing Test matches continuously was quite risky. We have won the series, so decided to stay out of the last two Tests of the series. Will keep prepared for T20 World Cup next month. This statement of Cummins is a clear indication that he is preparing himself for the T20 World Cup 2026.
What did Cummins say about Nathan Lyon?
Cummins said on Nathan Lyon, ‘He had surgery a few days ago, so he will have to be out for a long time. I don’t know exactly, but it will last at least a few months. The road ahead for him is a bit long, but he’s done it before, so hopefully he’ll be back. This was a big shock for the team. I wish him a speedy return.”

What did the coach say about Cummins?
After Cummins was ruled out of the last two Ashes matches, Australia head Andrew McDonald had said on his chances of playing the T20 World Cup, it would be an assessment. I think at some point he will have a scan and get information about the condition of his back. After this a decision will be taken on his playing. I can’t say whether he will be in the World Cup or not. It’s pretty blurry right now. Although we have hope. (With IANS inputs)
