An injury concern has arisen regarding Australian captain Pat Cummins as the Champions Trophy approaches next month, with the fast bowler scheduled to undergo a scan on his “sore ankle.” George Bailey, the chairman of selectors, has not provided any assurances regarding Cummins’ participation in this prestigious tournament. Throughout the Australian summer, Cummins has been dealing with this ankle issue; however, he successfully led his team to a 3-1 series victory against India in the highly regarded Border-Gavaskar Test series recently. Bailey’s reluctance to confirm Cummins’ availability for the Champions Trophy, which is set to commence on February 19, adds to the uncertainty surrounding the team’s preparations.
