MELBOURNE : Pat Cummins will captain Australia at the Champions Trophy after being named in a preliminary 15-man squad also featuring fellow quick Josh Hazlewood on Tuesday.
Pat Cummins returns for Australia's ICC Champions Trophy campaign in Pakistan next month after skipping their Sri Lanka Test tour, with injured paceman Josh Hazlewood also in the squad announced Monday. Australian captain Cummins opted out of the Sri Lanka series starting later this month for the birth of his second child. He is also reportedly carrying a knee injury. Hazlewood was included in the two-time tournament winners' preliminary 15-man line-up after calf and side strains restricted him to just two Tests against India over the summer.
The cost of 'overusing' Jasprit Bumrah in the search of wickets on the Border-Gavaskar Trophy seems to have hurt India's chances of winning the Champions Trophy. The pacer had to pull out during the 5th and final Test against Australia in Sydney over 'back spasms' but his injury has turned out to be much worse than first anticipated. It has been reported that Bumrah has swelling on his back and is unlikely to be fit in time for the start of the Champions Trophy next month.
Speculations are running rife as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) contemplates the best roster for the forthcoming ICC Champions Trophy in Pakistan and UAE. Plenty has been said about the spin bowling unit for the Indian team, with the likes of Kuldeep Yadav, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Ravi Bishnoi, and Varun Chakravarthy in the running. It has been reported that Chakravarthy is among the top candidates to be picked, while there's a big doubt over Ravindra Jadeja's place in the team.
As the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) nears the Champions Trophy squad selection deadline, a big boost has reportedly come in the form of veteran pacer Mohammed Shami. Though Shami couldn't prove his fitness for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, it has been reported that he is all set to be picked for India's ODI squad against England, as well as the Champions Trophy, if his comeback goes as planned. However, Shami's return to India's T20 side against England isn't looking as likely yet.
