Cummins Dismisses Australia Team Rumors

Australia cricket captain Pat Cummins has categorically denied rumors of disharmony within the Australian team ahead of the second Test of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy against India. Speaking at a pre-match press conference, Cummins asserted that the team is in high spirits and that some commentators have misinterpreted the situation entirely.

The rumors of a divided team emerged after Josh Hazlewood's comments during the Perth Test, where he seemed to distance himself from the batting unit. However, Cummins clarified that Hazlewood's remarks were taken out of context and that the team is united and focused on the upcoming match.

`We don't make too much of these rumors,` Cummins said. `The team is great, we have prepared like we always do, and we get around each other. It's a great feeling around the team.`

Australia has named their playing eleven for the Adelaide Test, with Scott Boland replacing the injured Josh Hazlewood. The team is looking to bounce back from a 295-run defeat in the first Test, where India staged a remarkable comeback despite being bowled out for just 150 runs in their first innings.
