Cummins ready to 'take risks' in Ashes bid

Australia’s captain will be absent for their upcoming white-ball series against New Zealand and India because of lumbar bone stress, a common injury among fast bowlers with intense workloads.

Cummins remains upbeat about being able to take to the field in the first Test against England, starting on November 21 in Perth, and he says he will do everything in his remit to avoid missing out.
