Crookbond Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 Injured Cummins returns home http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/current/story/661671.html Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins has returned home from the A tour to South Africa to assess a lower rib/back injury. Cummins played two first-class matches on tour - including one against Zimbabwe Select in Harare - and one match of the one-day tri-series against India A. "Pat reported some left rib/back pain during the Australia A game against India A last week," Australia A physiotherapist Kevin Sims said. "With only Wednesday's final remaining in the series, the decision was made for him to return to Australia to assess the injury." Cummins, 20, has had a history of injuries that have curtailed his participation for Australia in several international series. In June, he toured England with the A team after being sidelined for nine months with a back injury. He had complained of stiffness during the Champions League in South Africa in October last year, where he turned out for Sydney Sixers. He was diagnosed with a stress fracture in his back on his return home. Cummins made his international debut aged just 18 on Australia's tour of South Africa in October 2011. His first, and to date only, Test at the Wanderers included 6 for 79 in the second innings, earning him the Man-of-the-Match award in a narrow Australian victory. He has also impressed in five ODIs, including playing England at Lord's last year, and had a successful World T20 in Sri Lanka where he claimed six wickets at 32.83 to help Australia to the semi-final.

rkt.india Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Injured again? And we have people here who go after yadav for getting injured one time.. He is very young and at that age, body is not mature enough to take that kind of pressure of bowling fast, so it is not unexpected. He will continue to get such injuries.

rkt.india Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 OK maybe its just age but what about Patti? Pattinson is young too, only 23. He suffered stress fracture which is less related to fitness but more to body fragility and immaturity. 25-30 is the best age in terms of such injuries.

Crookbond Posted August 19, 2013 Posted August 19, 2013 Cummins will miss most of the 2013-14 domestic cricket season http://www.espncricinfo.com/australia/content/current/story/663427.html "Pat returned home early from the Australia A tour of South Africa with some side/back soreness and scans have shown a partial recurrence of his lower back bone stress injury suffered in October last year when he returned home from Champions League," CA chief medical officer, Justin Paoloni, said. "He will be closely monitored to determine his return to the playing field, but expect that he will miss most of the 2013-14 domestic cricket season."
