Though he insisted he had not yet been ruled out, Australia coach Andrew McDonald acknowledged on Friday that skipper Pat Cummins was running out of time to be fit for the first Ashes test next month.
The 32-year-old pacer has not yet resumed bowling during his recuperation period due to a back stress injury, raising doubts over his participation in the Ashes series, which begins on November 21. McDonald claimed that although healing from back stress injuries is “ebb and flow” for individuals who suffer from them, Cummins was feeling better this week.
