Cummins, Hazlewood, David in Australia's T20 World Cup squad
Australia's cricket team is getting ready for the T20 World Cup.
Three important players, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Tim David, might be in the team even though they have some injuries.
The coach, Andrew McDonald, thinks they could be okay by the time the tournament starts.
Cummins has a back injury and will have another check before the final decision.
David hurt his hamstring but might be better in time for the World Cup.
Hazlewood has been injured too but is expected to be fit.
The team's first match is on February 11.
Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, and Tim David are likely to be named in Australia's provisional T20 World Cup squad despite injury concerns.
Cummins will have another scan in four weeks to determine his availability for the tournament.
Tim David is ruled out of the rest of the BBL due to a hamstring injury but has a good chance of being fit for the World Cup.
Josh Hazlewood is expected to be fit despite missing the Ashes series due to hamstring and Achilles injuries.
Australia's first match in the T20 World Cup is scheduled for February 11.
