Australian pacer Pat Cummins has affirmed his intent to participate in the IPL 2024 auction, signaling his return after a previous season’s withdrawal. Furthermore, Cummins expressed his willingness to continue as Australia’s ODI captain, extending his leadership well beyond the World Cup.
After Aaron Finch’s retirement a year ago, Cummins assumed the role of captain, originally anticipating the conclusion of his tenure at the culmination of the ongoing World Cup. Despite a turbulent start to the tournament, encountering defeats against India and South Africa, Australia underwent a remarkable turnaround. Their resurgence comprised a seven-game winning streak, propelling them to the second semi-final clash against South Africa.
Cummins’ adept leadership facilitated a significant resurgence for the Australian squad, charting a remarkable path from an unsteady commencement to an impressive winning spree. His confirmed participation in the IPL 2024 auction marks an anticipated return to the prestigious league, hinting at an exciting phase for both the pacer and the tournament.
