CRIK:Cummins keen to play entirety of 'unprecedented' run

Pat Cummins is holding out hope he can play the entirety of Australia's busiest 12 months on record, but admits it would be "very surprising" if all of the big-three quicks managed to.

The Test captain has pulled up well on return from the IPL, where he played his first competitive matches in four months after a back injury curtailed his Ashes.

"Body feels awesome," Cummins said at a media event for Amazon Prime's coverage of the women's Twenty20 World Cup.

"I got a scan, all sweet, so now it's the next step up, which is getting ready to bowl 20 overs in a day and wake up and do it again in a Test match."

Cummins will gradually increase his bowling loads throughout June and July in preparation for a 12 month-period that will feature up to 21 Tests.
