I think we\u2019re \u200cfairly open-minded to anything, as we\u2019ve seen over the last couple of \u200byears,\u201d Cummins added.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI see a world where we\u2019re potentially winding some bowlers down, even say at the back \u2060end of an Indian series if they don\u2019t look like they\u2019re \u2060going to play, to give them an extra rest ahead of the Ashes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s going to be a big \u200cpush the next 18 months or so, but I think we\u2019ll look back on it hopefully and see it as \u200bone of the more rewarding periods of our career.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"publish-time\" id=\"end-of-article\">Published on Jun 03, 2026<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><br \/>\n<br \/><a href=\"https:\/\/sportstar.thehindu.com\/cricket\/pat-cummins-ipl-2027-participation-workload-management-srh-australia\/article71055812.ece\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Australia captain Pat Cummins indicated he might skip the Indian Premier League (IPL) next year to prioritise a \u200bheavy Test schedule and the ODI World Cup.
