Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins’ cricketing journey is a tale of resilience and determination. Identified as a potential star early in his career, Cummins faced setbacks due to injuries that kept him out of the international scene for six years after his debut at the age of 18. However, he made a strong comeback in 2017, showcasing his prowess as a genuine fast bowler.

His sensational Test debut against South Africa at the Wanderers, where he played a crucial role in a thrilling two-wicket win, marked the beginning of what would later become a remarkable career. Despite facing repeated stress fractures in his lower back, Cummins persevered through pain and rehabilitation, ultimately toughening up to the demands of international cricket.

Despite missing the 2018 winter tours due to a back injury, he played a pivotal part in the home series against India. His outstanding performances not only earned him the Test vice-captaincy against Sri Lanka but also propelled him to the pinnacle of Test bowling rankings, securing the prestigious Allan Border Medal for the 2018-19 season.

The opportunity to captain the side came sooner than expected when Tim Paine resigned before the 2021-22 Ashes. Cummins seamlessly transitioned into the captaincy role, showcasing both his cricketing skills and leadership qualities. Within months, he led Australia to retain the Ashes. He secured a historic victory in Pakistan, marking Australia’s first tour of the country in 24 years.
