Australia's Test captain Pat Cummins has decided to take a two-month hiatus to rejuvenate himself as he prepares for the upcoming challenge of securing the prestigious Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India in the latter part of the year.
Having recently concluded his debut participation in Major League Cricket (MLC) in the United States, Cummins has been allowed a break from Australia's limited-overs tour of the United Kingdom next month. This decision was made to effectively manage his workload and provide him with an opportunity to focus on his physical conditioning in anticipation of a demanding summer ahead.
