Australia captain Pat Cummins has encouraged his side to get \u201cfired up\u201d for the chance to knock Ashes rivals England out of the World Cup.<\/p>\n

Three months have passed since the tightly-fought Test series between the sides ended 2-2 at the Kia Oval, with tensions running high over the course of the summer.<\/p>\n

A handful of Australian players have since made fun of claims that England won a \u2018moral victory\u2019 after being denied a decisive win by the Old Trafford weather. Cummins, meanwhile, could barely suppress laughter when asked to comment on England\u2019s struggles at this tournament.<\/p>\n

He adopted a better poker face on the eve of their reunion in Ahmedabad but, with his side marching towards the semi-finals and England one more defeat away from officially crashing out, Cummins is happy to see his players embrace their emotions.<\/p>\n

\u201c(The Ashes) was a couple of months ago. It\u2019s done. It\u2019s a new game, new tournament, but I always think a healthy amount of rivalry is good,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cEspecially so for our playing group. We\u2019re quite a chilled, calm group, so sometimes when we get a little bit more fired up, I actually don\u2019t think it\u2019s too bad a thing.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean it\u2019s an old rivalry so yeah, you\u2019re not going to lie, if they beat us I know it\u2019s probably just that little bit sweeter than beating other teams. And the same for us, with their history and how well they\u2019ve done in white-ball cricket. It would be a great win.\u201d<\/p>\n

That was as far as Cummins was willing to go in terms of needling the opposition, refusing to be revved up by Joe Root\u2019s suggestion that England boast a better XI despite the teams\u2019 vastly differing fortunes in India.<\/p>\n

\u201cI mean yeah, of course he\u2019d say that. We would say the same about our team, so I wouldn\u2019t read too much into it,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve played in many other games against England over the years. Even growing up, you watch it and you hear about it. There\u2019s always banter before any game. So, I think you\u2019re immune to it. You know that cricket speaks for itself.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverything else is just preamble and noise to a game that everyone\u2019s really excited about.\u201d<\/p>\n

Australia have been damaged by the loss of two key all-rounders ahead of the match, Glenn Maxwell recovering from concussion after falling off a golf buggy and Mitch Marsh returning home for personal reasons.<\/p>\n

Marcus Stoinis and Cameron Green are on hand to fill the gaps, with Steve Smith and Marnus Labuschagne set to climb up one place in the batting order.<\/p>\n
