The right-arm fast bowler last played the tournament in February 2021 and has featured in nine matches so far. Australia Test captain Pat Cummins wants to prepare himself by using the Sheffield Shield and the ODI series against Pakistan before the Test tour of India. Cummins told News Corp about this- “Ronnie (Australia head coach Andrew McDonald) called me and said we need to talk about this. I would have liked to go into the tournament a bit fresher, but I want to play some cricket this time around.” How is Pat Cummins going to prepare himself? “This window gives rest to my body, but I will get a chance to bowl well for six or eight weeks in the Sheffield Shield. I will go to the gym daily and do running, so that my body strength remains intact. After this we have to play an important Test series against India and our focus is completely on that.” Let us tell you that the way India has defeated Australia in the last two tours, the rivalry between India and Australia has become quite strong. This time Australia will want to win the series at any cost.
