He's back: Cummins in as Aussies name Adelaide Test squad

SEN • December 10th, 2025 1:13 pm

Pat Cummins is back for the third Test against England in Adelaide after joining the Australia squad officially.

Cummins has slowly been building up from the back stress injury he suffered in the Caribbean in July, with the Aussies now ready to unleash their skipper for the third Test while up 2-0.

The speedster was close to selection in the second Test in Brisbane, but was held back to ensure he was fully good to go for this fixture.

He's the only change from the squad that took an eight-wicket win at the Gabba, with the size of the squad now at 15 after 14 were picked for Brisbane.

Usman Khawaja keeps his place in the squad despite missing the Gabba Test with a back injury. It's yet to be seen whether he'll return to the side or miss out after the Aussies picked Josh Inglis in his place in Brisbane.
