Ali, a member of England’s recent T20 World Cup victory, had lamented the short turnaround time and called the scheduling ‘horrible’.
Jos Buttler and co. will play a three-match ODI series against Australia, starting 17th November - just three days after featuring in a World Cup final.
Speaking ahead of the series, Cummins claimed that players can’t do much about the schedule. The 29-year-old thinks that with the 50-over World Cup looming, England, the defending champions, will provide the perfect preparation.
As quoted by Perth Now, Cummins said:
Pat Cummins, who replaces Aaron Finch in the role, has a massive task ahead of him. The New South Wales bowler struggled in the T20 World Cup, and will be eager to turn the fortunes around for the hosts.
Former Australian captain Michael Clarke was also unimpressed by Moeen Ali’s comments.
“They’re a class side” - Pat Cummins on England
While Cummins understands that England might be exhausted after a lengthy T20 World Cup, he remains wary of their class.
The Adelaide Oval will host the opening game of the series.
