Cummins who is well known for generating good pace added that pace triplet should be able to make the cut for the UAE tour. The Aussie paceman added that the injury was a blessing in disguise as it gave a bit of rest to his body.

“As long as there are no hiccups in the building-up stage. We should all be right for the UAE. We’ve all started running. I don’t think I’d had more than a couple of days off bowling for about 18 months, so for my body to have a bit of a break has been nice”.

Australia will be seen in the whites for the first time after the controversial series against South Africa. There is no doubt that the Aussies have deeply missed the services of Steven Smith and David Warner. Furthermore, the absence of the pace trio from England limited-overs tour left a deep void in the Australian ODI side.
