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

#6 Idolized Brett Lee

Brett Lee has been an inspiration to many young fast bowlers around the world

Sheer pace, subtle variation, infamous pumping celebration, great discipline and lovely action are the things which sum up Brett Lee. Lee is perhaps one of the most successful bowlers in Australia’s cricket history and became the face of the Australian bowling unit in the early 2000s.

Cummins was a 6-year-old when Lee debuted and it did not take much time for the youngster to be inspired by Lee. Both Lee and Cummins have played for New South Wales in the domestic circuit but the duo has represented Australia together in only a few matches.

While speaking about his idol, Cummins had once expressed his gratitude for the invaluable tips he had received from his role model.
