Pat Cummins said he will not pick one Indian player to be in his Australian team.
Pat Cummins does not think any Indian cricketer can make it into the Australian team. Ahead of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, which gets underway from November 22 at Perth, the Australian crickets were asked quest if given a chance which Indian cricket they think would slot into their team.
When Nathan Lyon, Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head named at least one Indian player, skipper Pat Cummins revealed that he doesnโt need any Indian player in the Australian side.
โNo one,” Cummins was quoted as saying to Fox Cricket.
โItโd be a pretty strong batting lineup having Smith, Marnus and Virat in your top order,” Nathan Lyon said.
โRishabh Pant. Batting at No.5, he is such a good light-hearted, young fellow. He was my skipper at Delhi Capitals, he is a ripper,” Mitchell Marsh said.
โIโll go Rohit Sharma at the top, he is batting pretty aggressively, isnโt he? I am happy with an aggressive bloke. Think you would have thought a generic response like Virat so Iโll go the other way and go Rohit at the top,” Travis Head said.
โIโll choose Jasprit Bumrah. He is a three-format player and one of the best bowlers in the world,” Scott Boland said.
