BENGALURU : Australia's blockbuster four-test series against India will be the greatest challenge Pat Cummins has faced in his young captaincy as he looks to conquer the"final frontier" in his country's proud cricketing battles.
Cummins has gone on the record as saying that a series win in India, which Australia have achieved only four times and most recently in 2004-05, is on a par with the benchmark of Australian cricketing success - an Ashes triumph. The two teams could face off again in the final at The Oval and sit atop the standings with Australia only needing to avoid a 4-0 whitewash to book their spot.Seasoned fast bowler Josh Hazlewood will miss the Nagpur match with an Achilles issue, while finger injuries have ruled left-arm quick Mitchell Starc out of the opener and made all-rounder Cameron Green a doubtful starter.
Having decided against playing"irrelevant" warm-up matches, they gathered a bunch of local spinners for their net sessions in Alur and hired a bowler with a delivery similar to India's Ravichandran Ashwin.
