Cummins out of Adelaide Test, Boland to play | malcolmconn
Captain Pat Cummins will miss a second successive Adelaide Test after being ruled out because of injury.
Smith also captained on that occasion, on a rushed morning which marked his return to the top job in Australian cricket for the first time since 2018’s ball-tampering scandal.Things are more controlled in Adelaide this year, with Cummins having been considered a 50-50 chance at best by medical staff since Sunday.
Boland’s recall comes after he took 18 wickets at an average of 9.55 in the only three Tests of his career during last summer’s Ashes.
