2 weeks agoPat Cummins concedes he is weeks away' from bowling and unlikely to play in first Ashes Test
Cummins is expected to learn this week whether he will be able to feature in Perth on 21 November, with officials conceding the quick is facing a narrow timeline. The 32-year-old has not bowled since Australia's 3-0 series defeat of West Indies in July, with back scans having since detected a stress injury on his back. Asked on Monday what chance he was of playing in the first Test at Optus Stadium, Cummins admitted it was not high.
