Australia captain Pat Cummins is “hugely unlikely” to be fit for the Champions Trophy, says coach Andrew McDonald.
Fast bowler Cummins, 31, is absent from the ongoing Test series in Sri Lanka because of the birth of his second child, but also has an ankle problem.
Fellow paceman Josh Hazlewood, who has been sidelined with calf and side issues and was named in Australia’s preliminary squad alongside Cummins, is also a doubt.
“Patty is hugely unlikely, which is a bit of shame, and we’ve also got Josh Hazlewood, who is battling [to be fit] at the moment,” McDonald told radio station SEN.
“So that medical information will land over the next couple of days and we’ll be able to shore that up and let everyone know the direction.”
