World Cup 2023 / This star player will return in this series, now revealed himself

World Cup 2023: ODI World Cup will start in India from 5 October. Just before this tournament, the Australian team will come to play a three-match ODI series on Indian soil. Before the World Cup, Team India is troubled by the injury of two of its big players KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. At the same time, the concerns of the Australian team have also increased due to the injury of their captain Pat Cummins. Now a star player may return in this ODI series between India and Australia. That player himself has opened the secret regarding this.

Let us tell you that the BCCI is still unable to decide on the fitness of KL Rahul and Shreyas Iyer. On the other hand, the Australian captain himself has expressed hope of making a comeback in the series against India just before the World Cup. Australia captain Pat Cummins, who is recovering from a left wrist injury, on Tuesday said he is aiming to return to international cricket during the three-match ODI series against India in late September ahead of the World Cup. Cummins fractured his wrist during the fifth Ashes Test against England at The Oval from 27 to 31 July and was advised six weeks rest.

Cummins will also go to South Africa

Pat Cummins will also be ruled out of the five-match ODI series against South Africa from September 7 to 17 due to this injury. After this, the Australian team will reach India before the World Cup where it will play three ODIs on 22, 24 and 27 September. Giving a statement related to his return, Cummins said that, I will go to South Africa in the last stage of the series but our eyes are set on the ODIs (against India) before the World Cup. The condition of the injury should not worsen. Just a few more weeks of rest is left, then the wrist will be completely fine. He is hopeful that he will be ready to lead the team in the ODI World Cup to be held in India from October 5 to November 19.

Will Mitchell Marsh become the ODI captain after the World Cup?

Along with this, he said that after the World Cup, he can review his role as ODI captain. Cummins said that, we have shared some things regarding the ODI captaincy. We will look into it in the World Cup. Cummins further said, the good thing is that we have some options. If Mitchell Marsh is captaining the T20s, he is definitely the main option. Cummins took over the captaincy of Australia's ODI team last year following the retirement of Aaron Finch. After this, out of the six matches that Australia has played, he has been able to captain the team in only two matches. He missed a match against England to give Josh Hazlewood a chance, while he missed the three-match ODI series against India earlier this year due to the death of his mother. Then Steve Smith led the team.
