The good news is that Mitchell Starc will be fit and ready to play. The bad news, however, is that both Pat Cummins and Josh Hazlewood will require a longer time to recover from their respective injuries.
According to Australia physio David Beakley, both Cummins and Hazlewood should be fit in time for the Test series against India.
"Pat and Josh are progressing well from their lumbar bone stress injuries but are not bowling, so unfortunately they will not be at the level required for Test match intensity come October.
"Barring any setbacks, we are hopeful that Pat and Josh will return via the back-end of the JLT One-Day Cup, with the aim of them being available for the ODI Series against South Africa in November as they build towards the Indian Test Series.
"On a positive note, Mitchell Starc is back to unrestricted training and remains on track for the Test Series against Pakistan."
