Cummins Eyes Return: Hopes to Lead Australia in Ashes 2025 Despite Injury Concerns

Australia's cricket captain, Pat Cummins, remains optimistic about leading the team against England in the Ashes 2025, though his participation is hampered by a lingering back injury. Cummins is poised for a major comeback despite being weeks away from returning to the bowling crease.

With the opening Test in Perth on November 21 looming, the pressure mounts as Cummins prepares for a rigorous training schedule. 'I'd say probably less likely than likely, but we've still got a bit of time,' Cummins commented, revealing his intensive regimen to regain peak form.

Despite the setbacks, Cummins remains confident that his back issue won't hinder his long-term career, targeting participation in both the Ashes series and the ICC Men's T20 World Cup. His determination underscores his commitment to Australia's cricketing ambitions.
