Australia National Cricket Team skipper Pat Cummins has been out of action ever since the Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 has concluded. The fast bowler faced an ankle injury during the last game of the series and then was ruled out of the Sri Lanka Test series.
Cummins was initially added to the Australia squad for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, but he didn't recover in time. However, now the fast bowler has started bowling again and had his first session of bowl which marked his rehab ahead of the important cricket season.

"The ankle is all going strong, [have been] able to give it a good rest and then been building up slowly, which you don't get to do when you play lots of cricket," Cummins said. "It's feeling as strong as it has for a fair while. Should be fine [for the IPL], that's the plan. So have a few weeks of bowling, building back up and then hopefully don't have to worry about it for a while.
