They are a really good team. We have played them a lot, we know them well and we are in a good position right now. Never regret a break: Cummins Pat Cummins will not be seen playing in the Scotland and England tour. The fast bowler says that he will return refreshed after the break, which will also help his game.

This will give me a 7 or 8 week break from bowling completely and my body will also recover.

After the MLC, Bailey hopes Cummins will take a break and prepare for the summer, in which India will tour Australia for a five-match series, which could decide the fate of the World Test Championship final. “Whatever decisions are being taken regarding Pat Cummins, we have been planning for it for about 12 months. It is very important for our leader to be mentally fit for the series we are giving priority to. We have no problem with him playing in the MLC League and there is no change in our plan either. It is just a matter of 18-20 days, then the captain and the team will work according to the plan made” Let us tell you that, here Bailey is talking about the series against India. He says that as per the team plan, Pat Cummins is being given rest and he will return during the India tour.

(Photo by Morne de Klerk/Getty Images) The fast bowler was the talk of the town ever since Kolkata Knight Riders signed Mitchell Starc for Rs 24.75 crore in the IPL 2024 auction. He did not have a good start to the tournament, which added more pressure on him. But Starc never cared about the criticism. On the other hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad signed Pat Cummins for Rs 20.50 crore, which was also criticised as he was earning much more than the top Indian players. Now speaking openly about the salary and the trolling he faced, Starc said that he laughed it off as both the players played the final. Starc proved to be a big match player, leading KKR to success in Qualifier 1 and the final, and played a key role in helping the team win the trophy. While Cummins led by example as Hyderabad reached the final for the first time in six years. Now talking about the same, Starc joked about how people were saying why so much money was spent on them and we both were playing in the final. Mitchell Starc gave a statement on the trolling happening regarding IPL salary “I laughed. The first game of the IPL, we played against Hyderabad. Pat Cummins and I both got paid a lot of money. When we played the first game, it was a bit funny. It just so happened that we ended up playing against each other in the final nine weeks later. Suddenly everything changed for both of us. We were laughing about why we were paid so much, then we started thinking that well we got paid to play in the final. Isn’t it funny?” “After that, when the KKR player saw the cheque after the team won, it was Rs 20 crore. He immediately said, you have received a salary higher than this.”

“He came three days before the IPL started… I was shocked that…” – Nitish Reddy said about Cummins

Pat Cummins performed brilliantly under the captaincy of Sunrisers Hyderabad in IPL 2024. The SRH team managed to reach the final this season, where they had to face defeat at the hands of KKR. Although all the players of SRH performed well this season, but one player who impressed everyone with his performance was Nitish Kumar Reddy. His brilliant performance in the IPL 2024 season for Sunrisers Hyderabad caught the attention of the BCCI selectors. After this, he was included in Team India for the first time for the Zimbabwe tour. However, fate had something else in store and he was ruled out of IPL 2024 due to a hernia injury. In this way, the wait for his debut for India increased further. Nitish Reddy made a big statement about Pat Cummins Meanwhile, during a recent interview, Nitish Reddy talked about playing under the captaincy of Pat Cummins. In an interview with News18 CricketNext, Nitish Reddy said that, Pat joined just three days before the IPL. Meanwhile, I did well in the practice games and the coach was really impressed. But I wanted the captain to know. I said, ‘Does he know how I play and how I see the game?’ But when he joined, he said, ‘Nitish, you are playing very well.” The all-rounder was surprised to learn that Cummins had watched his batting videos on YouTube. The Australian captain’s move boosted Reddy’s confidence immensely and strengthened his belief in his own abilities. The young all-rounder further added, “I was kind of shocked that how did he know about my batting? He didn’t see me in the practice sessions, so I asked him about it, and he said that he saw my batting videos on YouTube and appreciated my talent. So this is really a kind of encouragement for me.”
