Australia needs to handle test grind better, Cummins says

Australian skipper Pat Cummins has urged his squad to prioritize patient, session-by-session play over relying on individual brilliance as they prepare for the upcoming test series against South Africa. He noted that the team must adapt to the fluctuating nature of the pitch at the series opener, moving away from the rapid pace seen in recent home matches.

Meanwhile, the Australian side has delayed finalizing their starting XI as they evaluate the specific requirements of the local conditions following the absences of Cameron Green and Josh Inglis. In contrast, South African captain Temba Bavuma has already confirmed his team selection for the match.
