By IANS News April 04, 2026 • 16:46 PM View: 315

ICC T20 World Cup: Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) captain Pat Cummins has left his side in the middle of the ongoing Indian Premier League (IPL) 2026 and flown back to Australia for a final medical scan on his persistent back injury.

The Australian pacer has not played a single match since the Ashes series at home against England. He also missed the recently concluded ICC T20 World Cup 2026, where Australia exited for the first time from the group stage.

According to a report in ESPNCricinfo, Cummins flew back to Australia right after SRH’s thrilling win over Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) on Thursday, April 2, at Eden Gardens in Kolkata. This scan was already planned and will be done under the supervision of Cricket Australia (CA).
