News just in is that the participation of Pat Cummins, the Australian captain, in the first test of the Ashes, to be played at the Optus Stadium in Perth, is doubtful. This comes as a blow to the host country's cricket team as Cummins is a prominent player and key position leader.

Cummins recently underwent surgery to treat a serious abdominal issue and hasn't recovered yet, despite having undergone rehabilitation procedures. There is a possibility that he might not feature in the opener, and his participation in the whole series is also under a cloud.

"It's going to be close," said Cummins himself. "I feel I might be ready for the second or third Test I'm not sure I'll be ready for the first."

This statement paints a bleak picture for the hosting team, as the Englishman will be heading into the series with a chip on his shoulder, aiming to carry his country back home to celebrate a historic victory on away soil. The first test begins on November 21 and will be followed by three more, with the final match scheduled for January 8 at the Bellerive Oval in Hobart.

Regardless, we wish Cummins a speedy recovery and hope to see him back on the field soon!

Stay tuned to see how this unfolds and who steps up to lead the team in Cummins' absence.
