New Delhi. The series of three ODIs and five T20 matches between India and Australia is going to start from October 19. It is about six weeks to start this series but Australia has suffered a major setback before. Actually, the result of the scan of Australia captain Pat Cummins’ back has not come correct. In such a situation, he can be out before the series against India starts. Pat Cummins has been troubled by back problems since July. The ODI World Cup winning captain suffered this problem during the West Indies vs Australia Test.
Cummins is expected to be out of the T20 series (1) October) against New Zealand and then out of the eight matches against India (three ODIs, five T20s). According to media reports, the scan of Cummins’s back was held on Monday, after which the doctors have advised him to rest for some time. In such a situation, he is finding it difficult to play. If Pat Cummins stays out of the series against India, Australia may get a big shock.
The report said, given the seriousness of Cummins’ back problem, he may stay out of all limited overs matches before the initial Ashes Test to be held in Perth in late November. They may also have to stay away from the Sheffield Shield match for New South Wales. According to the current situation, he will not join the T20 team to be announced on Tuesday for the tour of New Zealand.
