Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins, recovering from a left wrist injury sustained during the Ashes Test, aims to make his international cricket return during a three-match ODI series against India in late September. Advised six weeks of rest, Cummins will miss Australia’s five-match ODI series against South Africa but eyes the World Cup (October 5 – November 19). Cummins considers reassessing his ODI captaincy after the World Cup and suggests Mitchell Marsh, appointed as T20I captain, as a potential successor. Cummins took over the ODI captaincy in 2022 but led in only two of six matches due to various reasons, including personal matters and injuries.
