Cummins eyes ODI return

Australian cricket captain Pat Cummins announced his intention to play one-day international (ODI) matches in South Africa to prepare for an upcoming Test series, which will be Australia's first since the 2018 'Sandpapergate' scandal. Cummins, along with fellow fast bowlers Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood, will likely prioritize the Test series and play a limited number of ODIs in South Africa, potentially missing the Zimbabwe leg. The Test series in October includes matches in Durban, Gqeberha, and Cape Town, with Cummins expressing anticipation for the challenging conditions and a desire for revenge after losing the World Test Championship final to South Africa last year.
