India vs Australia: If Pat Cummins does not return on time, Smith will captain in the third Test

The tour of India has been full of difficulties for the Australian cricket team. The pressure on the team has increased after losing the first two Tests and their captain Pat Cummins has returned home due to family problems.

It is believed that he will return before the third Test, but Steve Smith has been named as the standby captain. If Cummins does not return in time, then Smith will be seen captaining in the third Test.

The problem of Kangaroo team is increasing continuously. Along with Cummins, Josh Hazlewood has also returned to Australia. Hazlewood has also been ruled out of the last two Tests due to not being fully fit.

David Warner has a fractured elbow and remains in doubt for the next two matches. A decision can be taken soon on whether Warner will stay or he will also be sent to Australia.
