Australian star pacers Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are seemingly to be named within the Australian squad for the ICC T20I World Cup 2026 regardless of damage worries. Cummins, who just lately performed only one recreation within the ongoing Ashes 2025-26, withdrew from the sequence to take a relaxation as a precaution. Head coach Andrew McDonald mentioned Cummins can have a scan in about 4 weeks.
”Pat can have a scan, I believe, in one other 4 weeks, so that’ll give us the knowledge then on the place he is at for the World Cup. He’ll be named within the squad of 15, after which we’ll get that data as to the place he is at,” ICC reported, quoting McDonald.
On the opposite hand, Hazlewood final featured in a limited-overs sequence towards India and was dominated out of the complete Ashes due to hamstring and Achilles accidents. He can be anticipated to be included within the squad for the upcoming ICC occasion.
”Josh is returning to bowl. He appears to be like as if he needs to be proper by way of doable timeframes,” McDonald added.
Another star participant, whose competition for the T20 World Cup is in jeopardy, is Tm David, who just lately suffered a hamstring damage throughout the ongoing Big Bash League (BBL). He was out of motion for weeks due to the same purpose earlier this 12 months, however the Aussies’ head coach is assured of Tim’s return for the T20 World Cup.
Meanwhile, the upcoming ICC T20I World Cup is scheduled to be held in India and Sri Lanka, beginning February 7. India are the reigning T20 champions.
