Though cummins

Pat Cummins: Australia Test captain Pat Cummins, who is set to miss the Ashes opener in Perth as he continues his recovery from a back injury, said he is progressing well for his return to the series in the second Test against England in Brisbane.

Meanwhile, the speedster has expressed his desire to play as much as he can in the much-anticipated series.

“I don’t really want to commit to anything this far out. I’m pretty keen to play as much as I can, but realistically, if we have a big game and I bowl 40 or 50 overs and then there’s a game that starts a few days later, it might be a bridge too far. I’m trying to get right, and if I get right then hopefully, I’ll try to play most of it as I can," Cummins told Channel 7.
