Sydney, Nov 8 || Australia captain Pat Cummins has been bowling at full pace during NSW nets in preparation for the second Ashes Test. He has increased his bowling efforts during NSW training as he prepares to be fit for the Gabba Test, set to begin on December 4.
Cummins was earlier ruled out of the highly anticipated Ashes opener in Perth starting on November 21. However, the fast-bowling ace is now eyeing to play in the day-night Test at the Gabba.
Cummins had a solid practice session at the SCG on Saturday as NSW gets ready to face Victoria in the Sheffield Shield starting Monday. The 32-year-old bowled at full speed during net sessions, putting forth promising signals, Cricket Australia reports.
Australia will enter the first Test with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, and Boland, all of whom will play in the Shield matches before heading to Perth.
