Pat Cummins is the No 1 Test bowler in the World.
Since 2017, no bowler has taken more wickets in international cricket than Cummins. The right-handed pacer has 243 wickets under his belt while South Africa bowler Kagiso Rabada is second on the list with 239 scalps.
Cummins was recently seen in action in IPL 2021 before the tournament was postponed. The Australian players, coaches, match officials, and commentators have been safely transported from India to the Maldives.
Previously, Cummins had said that he would want to gain some experience as a leader first before taking up the role of captain. He is currently the vice-captain and he is in line to be the next leader of the Australian cricket team.
“Absolutely – at the moment I have not got too much experience at all, just a couple of warm-up games in England and other than that it is Under-16s cricket when I last captained. So, for sure, it is something that is going to be more on the radar. Even to increase my experience as vice-captain if I ever need to step in or help out Painey or Finchy, I think it is something I would like to have a crack at to find out either way, whether I enjoy it, whether I am no good at it or whether I find it manageable,” Pat Cummins had told ESPNCricinfo earlier this year.
