Cummins Optimistic for Ashes Return, Khawaja's Status Uncertain

Pat Cummins, Australias cricket captain, provides an optimistic update on his back injury recovery, potentially ready for the second Ashes Test against England. Despite his absence, Australia secured a dominant victory in the first Test, with Mitchell Starc taking ten wickets. Cummins has been rehabilitating and believes he has a good chance of playing in the upcoming day-night Test at the Gabba. However, top-order batsman Usman Khawaja, who injured his back during the first Test, might be a doubt for the second match. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered.
