Australia plans to include Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Tim David in their provisional T20 World Cup 2026 squad despite ongoing injury concerns. Cummins will undergo a scan in four weeks to determine his back injury status, while Hazlewood is progressing well from hamstring and Achilles issues. Tim David is also recovering from a hamstring strain. Head coach Andrew McDonald confirmed Cummins will be named in the 15-man squad by the January 2 deadline, with final participation decisions pending medical assessments closer to the tournament.
