In a video going viral on the internet, the 32-year-old pacer, who has 309 wickets to his name in 71 Test matches, can be seen bowling for the first time since July 2025.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">The clip of Cummins in New South Wales nets is going viral, and it has boosted hopes of his return for the Ashes series.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\"><strong>Here\u2019s a look:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">According to cricket.com.au report Cummins put in a solid session at the SCG on Saturday. He was sending balls down at full pace in the nets.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">In Cummins\u2019 absence, Steve Smith will captain Australia in the series opener, and Scott Boland is all set to replace him in the playing XI. But if Cummins manages to clear the fitness test, then he could come into the side for the second Test, which will be a day-night affair at The Gabba in December.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\"><strong>Cummins\u2019 Test record vs England<\/strong><\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\">Cummins made his Test debut for Australia in 2011 against South Africa in Johannesburg and since then has played in a total of 19 Tests against England. In those 19 fixtures, he has bowled 693.3 overs and picked up 91 wickets. The right-arm pacer, who led Australia to the World Test Championship (WTC) title win in 2023, has 177 wickets to his name in 38 Test matches played in Australia.<\/p>\n<p data-pm-slice=\"0 0 []\"><strong>Australia squad for 1st Ashes Test:<\/strong> Steve Smith (C), Sean Abbott, Scott Boland, Alex Carey, Brendan Doggett, Cameron Green, Josh Hazlewood, Travis Head, Josh Inglis, Usman Khawaja, Marnus Labuschagne, Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Starc, Jake Weatherald, Beau Webster<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3716181660 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>November 08, 2025, 10:48 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-3716181660 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Good News For Australia!
