Pat Cummins out of England series with a muscular strain – Cricket News Update
Australia's teenage pace sensation, http://www.senore.com/Cricket/England-c56013 due to a side strain he had sustained during the 15-run defeat in the series opener at Lord’s on Friday.
Australian team's physiotherapist, John Orchard, confirmed on Sunday that the 19-year-old fast bowler, who had recently returned to international cricket after a long injury layoff, will not take any further part in the ongoing series.
“Pat sustained an abdominal muscle strain on his left side during the first ODI at Lord's,” John Orchard, the Australian cricket team's doctor, said in an official statement on Sunday. “This will keep him out of the remainder of the England tour,” he added further.
Friday’s match against the traditional rivals England was Cummins’ second international appearance since recovering from the foot injury he had sustained during his debut tour to http://www.senore.com/Cricket/New-South-Wales-c823 fast bowler out of the ensuing four matches of the itinerary.
“Whilst he was able to complete his 10 overs, he was sore after the game and was scanned, the results of which have revealed a medium grade side-strain,” said the physio, explaining the nature of Cummins’ injury.
The 19-year-old Australian quick burst on the international arena in October last year, claiming three wickets in three overs he bowled in his One Day International debut against South Africa. He played two more one-dayers against the Proteas before making a sensational Test debut, bagging match winning figures of 6 for 79, to help his side level the two-match series 1-1, with a two-wicket win at Johannesburg. Though Cummins was adjudged as the Man of the Match, he sustained a stress bone injury during the same bout, which kept him away from the international arena for almost eight months.
He made an international comeback during the washed out ODI against http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Ireland-c751 last Saturday, before being ruled out for an indefinite period.
“His return to cricket will be decided in due course, based on follow-up examinations in http://www.senore.com/Cricket/Australia-c746,” he added further.
Cricket Australia confirmed today that the seamer will leave for Australia on Monday morning. http://www.senore.com/Cricket/MG-Johnson-c1945 has replaced the teenager in the second One Day International of the five-match series, underway at the Oval today.
