Pat Cummins Takes Eight Weeks Off From Bowling To Prepare For Border-Gavaskar Trophy

By IANS News August 18, 2024 • 10:36 AM View: 642

Major League Cricket: Australia captain Pat Cummins has announced eight weeks complete off from bowling as he prepares his body for another action-packed cricket season, starting with the five-match home Test series against India in November.

The pacer was not picked for Australia's white-ball tour of the United Kingdom in September as part of workload management which gives him ample time to recover his body from tiring 18 months of cricket.

The 31-year-old recently returned from the United States following his maiden Major League Cricket campaign with San Francisco United.
