Amidst a 0-2 deficit in the ongoing five-match T20I series against India, Captain Pat Cummins reflects on the human element in cricket, asserting, “They’re humans, they’re not robots.” The Australian team, deprived of several World Cup-winning players and contending with workload concerns, faced setbacks in the initial T20Is. With key players rested and others recalled due to workload considerations, Australia encounters hurdles against a formidable second-string Indian side.

Cricket Australia affirms the return of Ben McDermott, Josh Philippe, and Chris Green to fortify the squad. Recognizing the strain on players amid a bustling home summer, Cummins empathizes, noting, “They’re not at 100 percent.” He underscores the importance of these tours, offering opportunities for emerging players not regularly in the playing XI.
