Cummins, who is expected to be key to the Australian attack in both tournaments, is currently in the UAE for a five-match ODI series against Pakistan. While he was rested for the first two games, the pacer is likely to get a look-in for the third ODI on Wednesday, March 27.

“The World Cup is really busy, but it’s about two games a week. Hopefully, [we] can manage all that. You want to be playing all the games you can,” he said. “I’m no different. It’s quite a long tour, so probably managing in between games and how you train, just trying to give yourself every chance to play.

“I’ve got no idea how we’re going to work out the World Cup schedule. I think it is going to be one of those World Cups where you do need a whole squad of 15 playing and firing because it’s nine ODIs in [five] weeks. It’s going to be quite a big ask.”

Hazlewood is racing against time to make it to the national squad in time for the World Cup. “When the squad gets announced, I’ll probably be 65-70 per cent, and I’ve still got a good four or five weeks from that date to get ready to play one-day cricket,” he said on the Unplayable Podcast.

“We head up to Brisbane early May – there’s a couple of games against New Zealand I believe. I don’t think I’ll be fit for those, but [for] the one-day warm-up games in England, I think I’ll be right. Cutting it a little bit close, I guess, but pretty confident.”
