\u201cIt\u2019s feeling good. I had a couple of good sessions in Perth this week, so having a big day where I\u2019d bowl around 10 overs then a couple of quieter day and then going again. It\u2019s on track and pulling up pretty well. (I\u2019m) half a chance for the next game.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI\u2019ll have a couple more bowls and then there could be about two weeks before the next one the way this one is going. I\u2019m pretty hopeful and it\u2019s probably better than it was a few weeks ago,\u201d said Cummins to broadcasters Kayo Sports during day two\u2019s play.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Cummins\u2019 return would provide a significant lift for Australia, with Josh Hazlewood already sidelined from the first two Tests due to a hamstring injury that threatens to rule him out of the entire five-match series.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also said a final decision on his fitness will be made closer to the second Test, but expressed optimism about taking the field and leading Australia at The Gabba. It\u2019ll be a collaboration between myself and the physios, the selectors and the doctors.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n

If Cummins is cleared to play at The Gabba, debutant fast bowler Brendan Doggett is expected to make way, despite an impressive first outing in the longer format, where he claimed five wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
