ENG vs AUS 2nd Test: Pat Cummins set to miss out pink-ball Ashes Test

Pat Cummins

Australia skipper Pat Cummins was on Friday ruled out of the second Ashes Test as the hosts named an unchanged 14-member squad for the day-night game in Brisbane.

In Cummins's absence, stand-in skipper Steve Smith led Australia to an eight-wicket victory in the first Test as the hosts took a 1-0 lead in the five-match series. The second Test is slated from December 4.

Cummins, however, will travel to Brisbane to continue his return as he's likely to be back for the third Test in Adelaide from December 17. The Aussie pace spearhead was seen in a rigorous training session at the SCG on Friday, bowling to Smith.
