Pat Cummins is recognised as one of the world's leading fast bowlers
Australia captain Pat Cummins is willing to be "aggressive" and "take risks" with his rehabilitation from a back injury in order to be fit for the first Ashes Test against England this winter.
Cummins has been ruled out of Australia's upcoming white-ball series against New Zealand and India after scans revealed a lumbar bone stress in his back.
The 32-year-old said it would be "devastating" if he missed out on the first Ashes Test, which starts on 21 November in Perth, Western Australia.
"I'm never going to go into a Test match unless I think I can finish the Test match," Cummins said.
