Australian selectors have called in TWO fast bowlers as an injury cloud hovers over Pat Cummins. There's now three players in the squad who could replace him 👀
"The first step will be that he's rid of all the symptoms around the quad, then once he's handed over to us we can assess him from a skills perspective," McDonald said.
"So we can leave it right up to the toss if we want. He's our captain, we're going to give him every chance to get out there." Right-arm swingman Michael Neser was brought in, as well as West Australian speed demon Lance Morris, who can regularly bowl upwards of 150km/h.
