“He’s nonetheless getting back from that harm, he is solely had a few periods the place he is catching with a tough ball. We will see how he pulls up.”

Cummins called Starc the “world’s premier” bowler in these conditions, but said all options were open going into the Test.

Spinner Todd Murphy had debut figures of 7-124 in Nagpur and Cummins again challenged his spinners to make best of the conditions.
