Cummins’ rehabilitation has been ongoing, and he has been working towards his goal of making a comeback to the Indian Premier League. In a recent interview with ESPNCricinfo, he revealed that his ankle is feeling strong and that he is ready to make his comeback. "The ankle is all going strong, [have been] able to give it a good rest and then been building up slowly, which you don’t get to do when you play lots of cricket. It’s feeling as strong as it has for a fair while. Should be fine [for the IPL], that’s the plan. So, have a few weeks of bowling, building back up and then hopefully don’t have to worry about it for a while," he said.

I think in the past you used to play everything, whereas now, absolutely, you try and make sure the players are at their peak for as long as you can for the year and to play as much of the important stuff each year. It’s just the way of the world. Everyone’s used to it," he added.
