Cricket Australia has included key players Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Tim David in their squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup, despite fitness concerns. While selectors are optimistic about Hazlewood and David's recovery, Cummins' lumbar stress injury poses a greater challenge, with his availability potentially similar to Travis Head's situation in a previous tournament. The team's participation is contingent on their recovery before the tournament begins on February 7, 2026.
