Ashes 3rd Test: Skipper Pat Cummins returns

Australia skipper Pat Cummins on Saturday confirmed the playing XI for the upcoming Boxing Day Test, beginning Sunday at the Melbourne Cricket Ground.

The hosts have made two changes to their lineup as Pat Cummins and Scott Boland have replaced Michael Neser and Jhye Richardson.

He (Jhye Richardson) was pretty sore. We were umming and ahhing – he had a bowl yesterday but we thought seven days off (before the fourth Test in Sydney) will give him enough rest, cricket.com.au quoted Cummins as saying.

He’s got a small leg injury which is nothing major but we thought rather than risking a long-term injury, we’d give him a week off, he added.
