Cummins bowls at full pace in build-up to Ashes
- Published
Australia captain Pat Cummins completed a net session at full pace on Monday as he looks to return to his team's line-up for the second Test of the Ashes in Brisbane.
Cummins, 32, has been ruled out of Friday's series opener in Perth with a back injury, but has stepped up his recovery in the build-up to the series, bowling for an hour alongside his team-mates.
The second Test, a day-night match, starts on Thursday, 4 December at The Gabba.
The home side will be captained by Steven Smith in Perth, while Scott Boland and the uncapped Brendan Doggett are set to play in place of Cummins and fellow injury absentee Josh Hazlewood.
