 "IND vs AUS ODIs: Australia captain Cummins likely to be fit by India tour")
Australia captain Pat Cummins has been suffering from an injured finger, and the premier pacer has set the timeline for his return to international cricket by late September during the India tour for One-Day International (ODI) series.
Ahead of the ODI World Cup 2023, Australia will be in India for three-match ODI series, which would be a precursor before the two teams meet in the 50-over World Cup opener on October 8. The matches of the bilateral series will take place on September 22, 24 and 27 in Mohali, Indore and Rajkot.
How did Pat Cummins get injured?
Cummins fractured his wrist during the fifth Ashes Test at the Oval (July 27-31) and has been advised to rest for six weeks.
The pace bowler is set to miss Australia's five-match ODI series against South Africa between September 7 and 17.

"I'll head over to South Africa at the back end of that leg. But we're looking more at those one-dayers (against India) ahead of the World Cup."
"It shouldn't be too bad. Another few weeks and it'll be right," said Cummins, hoping he would play in the World Cup in India from October 5 to November 19.
