10 things to know about Pat Cummins, Mitchell Starc's replacement

#7 Youngest player to be given a central contract

In 2011, he became the youngest player to sign a national team contract

Not many countries boast a rich cricket history, however, Australia do. To play for a nation like Australia is a great achievement and to become the youngest T20 player to play for the country is a bigger feat indeed.

When Cummins made his debut against South Africa in Newlands, Cape Town, he was all but 18 years and 158 days old. Thus, he became the youngest Australian to earn a national cricket contract.

So far, he has played 18 T20Is and has 23 wickets to his name with an amazing bowling economy of 6.84. His best figures in the format are 15/3 and he strikes once every 18 balls.
