I’m Feeling Really Good At The Moment – Pat Cummins

The Australian skipper said that he feels good at the moment and is focusing on maintaining his form and fitness.

“Anything harder, if I really try to run in and bowl fast, maybe my seam isn’t as good, maybe I don’t swing the ball as much,” Cummins said.

“I’m feeling really good at the moment. I’ll take it Test by Test, but there’s 25 days of cricket left and in between that I reckon I’ll be doing a lot of UberEats at (the hotel) on my bed watching golf,” he concluded.

Cummins, Boland, and Starc played as the three pacers in the recently concluded World Test Championship (WTC) against India. The Australian cricket team is expected to stick with their winning combination in the series opener against England.
