Australia skipper Pat Cummins on Wednesday said the team doesn’t plan to rotate its fast bowlers during the ODI World Cup unless it’s absolutely necessary.

Australia, the most successful team in the competition, has a fiery pace department comprising Cummins, Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.

“The intention is to try and play every game. We won’t be rotating bowlers unless we have to.... [if] someone is feeling extremely fatigued, someone is managing a niggle and needs rest,” Cummins said on the eve of Australia’s second game against South Africa.

“The intention is to try and have everyone on the selection table for each game. You pick your best 11. It’s a World Cup, you can’t really take any game lightly. Probably later on in the tournament, we’ll look at that if we need to. But at the moment, yeah, there’s no plans.”

Australia’s World Cup campaign was off to a bitter start as they lost their opener by six wickets against hosts India last week.

The men from Down Under take on rivals South Africa, who head to the fixture on the back of an electrifying win.
