The possibility of Pat Cummins missing the entire Ashes series highlights Australia\u2019s insufficient depth in replacement fast bowlers ready to step in.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The dominance of the bowling trio of Cummins, Mitchell Starc, and Josh Hazlewood since the past decade, along with Scott Boland's inclusion from 2021, has resulted in a gap in experience among emerging fast bowlers. As a result, selectors face a variety of options for November, though most lack extensive international experience.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sharing his thoughts on the same and why the selectors must not risk bringing in Cummins while he recovers, Healy, speaking on SENQ Breakfast, said, \u201cHe will be a huge miss but do not risk Pat Cummins at all. He\u2019s a composed and absolutely consistent performer. He is our go-to when we need it and he gets the job done. He\u2019s tolerant, calm and an empowering leader. Scott Boland is going to be into the attack \u2013 he will be first in line but if we get an injury who else do we have?<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cMichael Neser is in the conversation for any Test. I would like him to get a game. Then there\u2019s the engaged teammate. He shares a beer, has a wine, great mates within the team. Starc, wicket-taker, (Nathan) Lyon real container, and Hazlewood never let off. They can get the job done without Cummins.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

\u201cJordan Buckingham and then Brendan Doggett. I would say we haven't got a whole lot of depth but there's some young men coming through. The depth will be building because we've had these four bowlers together for 10 years. There's been a whole generation skipped over. With the youngsters, you try to get as much cricket into them as you possibly can, but they're a bit vulnerable to injury and then they have to take a double step up,\u201d he added.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
