Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood are included in Australia's provisional T20 World Cup squad but will miss the upcoming Pakistan series due to injuries. Tim David is also in the squad, pending fitness. Selectors are willing to manage Cummins' recovery, potentially similar to Travis Head's approach in the ODI World Cup, to have him available later in the tournament. Hazlewood and David are expected to be fit for the World Cup's start.
