ICC World Cup: Stoinis' fitness in spotlight, Australia sweat on playing 11

Australian captain Pat Cummins said the team management is keeping a close watch on the fitness of all-rounder Marcus Stoinis, who has picked up a hamstring injury, ahead of their World Cup match against India here on Sunday. Cummins said Stoinis would be put through his paces in the next few hours before taking a final call on the Western Australian cricketer. "We'll announce a team tomorrow at the toss. Stoinis, yeah, still touch and go. He's going to have a run out soon, but probably up against it. He's got to jump through a few hoops. Yeah, we'll see," said Cummins on Saturday during his pre-match press meet. However, Cummins was not really perturbed because his side has a wonderful array of all-rounders who can step in for Stoinis. "I think in one-day cricket more than any other formats you need all-rounders -- you've got to try and find 50 overs. "So, we feel really blessed to have people like Cam (Cameron) Green, Mitch Marsh, Glenn Maxwell in the side. They're like gold. It

World Cup 2023: Australia have a plan for Indian spinners, says Cummins

Australia skipper Pat Cummins on Thursday asserted that his team has a "plan" to tackle Indian spinners in the opening Cricket World Cup match, saying the victory in the third ODI at Rajkot had made the bunch a "confident" lot ahead of the blockbuster clash here on Sunday. India won the three-match series 2-1, but Australia won the Rajkot tie by 66 runs after notching a mammoth 352. Cummins indicated the confidence stemmed from the fact that the Australians had played Indian spinners in the past and done well. "It (preparation) starts with training for the next few days before the game. The Australian guys play a lot of spin. Our batting order had played a lot in India and done well, so they know most of the (Indian) bowlers and they have a plan (in place)." "We are really confident. We had a good win in the third ODI (in Rajkot), which is probably a bit closest to our strongest XI. We have had pretty good records in ODIs in India," added the skipper during a promotional event ...

Injured Cummins, Smith, Starc and Maxwell in Australia's provisional squad

Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Mitchell Starc and Glenn Maxwell were all included in Australia's 15-member provisional squad despite injuries while bowling all-rounder Sean Abbott earned his maiden World Cup call-up. Cummins and Smith are nursing wrist injuries they picked up during the Ashes, while Starc and Maxwell are out with a groin problem and ankle issue respectively. Of the quartet, only Cummins is in the ODI squad to face South Africa, starting Thursday. However, his participation is also doubtful. All four are in a race against time to get fit for the marquee event, staring in India on October 5. "All are well placed to come back online in the coming weeks and potentially for selection in the upcoming series against India," selection chief George Bailey said. "There are eight one-day matches still to play in South Africa and India before the final squad is due to be declared. "They are followed by two World Cup practice games, which offers plenty of opportunity to continue t
