    Cummins, Hazlewood To Miss Pakistan Series But Hopefull For T20 WC: Bailey

    By IANS News January 03, 2026 • 11:48 AM View: 95
    T20 World Cup: Australia chairman of selectors, George Bailey, expressed confidence that Hazlewood and Tim David would be ready in time for the World Cup and remained hopeful that a scan for Pat Cummins scheduled for the end of January would bring encouraging news after his Ashes workload.

    Australia are prepared to take a calculated risk over Pat Cummins’ availability at the upcoming T20 World Cup, with selectors open to carrying the captain through the early stages of the tournament if it allows him to make an impact later on. The approach mirrors Australia’s handling of Travis Head during the 2023 ODI World Cup, when patience with an injury ultimately paid dividends.

    Cummins, along with Josh Hazlewood and Tim David, has been named in Australia’s provisional squad for next month’s tournament, pending fitness. Cummins has not played since his solitary Ashes Test appearance in Adelaide, having recovered from a lumbar stress injury, while Hazlewood is working his way back from an Achilles injury. David, meanwhile, saw his Big Bash League campaign cut short by a hamstring injury.
