An important member of the Australian setup with his ability to bowl express pace and also contribute with the bat in hand, Pat Cummins will be banked to produce the goods with his all-round skill.

A first change bowler, Cummins can also be effective in the death overs and has in the recent past, troubled the best of batsmen with his constant ability to break partnerships.

While injuries have had a dent on his playing time, Cummins looks fit this year and will have a lethal role to play in the Australian bowling attack.
