Pat Cummins: We can’t afford to ‘already be cooked’ in first game of WC

AUS skipper Pat Cummins, who has recovered from a wrist injury, hopes to play all three matches while Steven Smith will also return after dealing with a wrist problem after the Ashes.

Pat Cummins said –

“We want to strike the balance between getting used to these conditions, hopefully winning some games, but we also don’t want to get to that first game [of the World Cup] and already be cooked.

Building towards the World Cup, Australia have focused heavily on having a deep batting order, and it is a balance Cummins said would continue, although there could be an extra specialist bowler occasionally.

Cummins added – “No doubt we’ll be trying a few different combinations, a few different players will get a chance but ideally we’d like to structure up pretty closely to how we’ll play in the World Cup.

Cummins further added –

“So batters batting in similar positions, … and as a captain I want to get used to how you use your bowlers over here, it might be a bit different to say South Africa or Australia. Does the second spinner play a part? Hopefully we get some answers over the next few games.”
