In what can be a blow to Australia cricket team, captain Pat Cummins has injured his ankle just before ICC Champions Trophy. The all-rounder has been an all-format player for Australia and recently led Australia to a 3-1 triumph in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The pacer will not be playing in the Test series in Sri Lanka owing to the birth of his second child. However, his absence may be extended now due to this injury.

Speaking to media persons, Australia chief selector George Bailey revealed that Cummins had a sore ankle and he had some work to do. The former Australian player said that Pat was set to undergo scans next week to get further insights into the extent of the injury. Meanwhile, Steve Smith has been named the captain for the Sri Lanka series, with Travis Head serving as his deputy.
“There’s a little bit of work to do, he’s (Cummins) got a little bit of a sore ankle as well so I think in the next week or so he’s got a scan coming there and we’ll get a bit more information around where that’s at,” Bailey said.
