Getting Back to Fitness
Cummins, who has been on a paternity leave and had been dealing with an ankle injury, is happy to report that his ankle is feeling strong again. He believes that the rest he has had has allowed him to build up his strength and endurance, which will be essential for the demanding season ahead. "The ankle is all going strong, 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," Cummins said.

Cummins also shared some valuable insights on how players can extend their careers by making the right decisions.
