Cummins Ruled Out First Ashes Test, Smith To Lead Australia In Opener
But Steve Smith: Pat Cummins has been formally ruled out of the series opener against England in Perth with ex-skipper Steve Smith set to captain Australia in the series opener, scheduled from November 21.
Cummins, who had indicated he would like to have been back with bowling at least four weeks out from his return, has not yet resumed bowling as he continues to recover from the back stress injury he suffered in the tour to the Caribbean back in June
Smith, who has led Australia in 40 Test matches in his career, last donned the captain's hat for Australia in February this year in a 2-0 series win in Sri Lanka.
