Pat Cummins Pat Cummins returns to Australian squad for SA Test series
Brisbane: Pacer Pat Cummins confirmed his return to Australia's XI for the first NRMA Insurance Test against South Africa at the Gabba where a pitch sporting a considerable tinge of green has both side's pacemen licking their lips.
As confirmed earlier this week, Cummins' recovery from a quad injury will see him replace Michael Neser as the only change to the side that wrapped a 2-0 series sweep over West Indies in Adelaide last week.
It means Scott Boland holds his place in a bowling attack featuring Cummins, Mitchell Starc, allrounder Cameron Green and spinner Nathan Lyon.
