"Doubt..."- Pat Cummins gives massive fitness update ahead of 4th Ashes 2025/26 Test in Melbourne
The Australia captain, Pat Cummins, has given a massive fitness update ahead of the fourth Test of the Ashes 2025/26 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) after their amazing victory in the Adelaide Oval.
Australia’s captain, Pat Cummins, has admitted that he would be unlikely to feature in the fourth Ashes 2025/26 Test at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG) in the Boxing Day Test. He may not take part in the rest of the series, along with the New Year’s Sydney Test, after securing a pretty amazing victory in Adelaide to retain the urn in just 11 days of playing time.
Pat Cummins, who claimed six wickets in the match, played his first game in 22 weeks as he recovered from the back injury, and he mentioned that even though he came through the game, successive red-ball encounters were always unlikely for him.

“We'll work it out over the next couple of days. I doubt I'll be playing Melbourne, and then we'll have a chat about Sydney. But certainly before the series it was, while the series was live, let's take on the risk and have a crack at it, now it's done, I think we'll need to have a chat about it.” Cummins expressed in the post-match press conference.

The relentlessness of Australia’s attack stood out throughout the game, while the fielding was superb. Alex Carey produced another masterclass behind the stumps while Marnus Labuschagne was exceptional in the slip corridor.
“I think that's when we're at our best, this cricket team. You can't really rush things here in Australia. I think you kind of will it to happen, but it doesn't really work that way. It's good old-fashioned grind a lot of the time. I loved the talk from all the guys today. It got a little bit closer than I would have liked, but I'm pretty happy.” Cummins revealed in the post-match presentation.
“Over the last few years, this group has shown [it can] just crack on. Even though I missed the first couple of games, Steve stepped right in, and it was smooth and seamless. There are always things that crop up; Nathan Lyon is doing his hammy with a couple of hours left today.” The Australian captain addressed.
