We Want To Try Out A Few Combinations – Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins stated that Australia is focused on acclimatizing to the conditions and securing victories ahead of the World Cup. He hinted at experimenting with various combinations and players to prepare for the upcoming tournament adequately.

“Want to strike a balance between getting used to the conditions and getting a few wins under our belts. We don’t want to get to the first game (of the World Cup) under-prepared,” Cummins said.

“We want to try out a few combinations, a few different players but ideally, we have structured the combination we want to go about.

As a captain, I want to get used to how to use my bowlers here. Might be a bit different to South Africa and Australia. Does the second spinner play a part? Hopefully, we’ll get a few answers to that in the next few games.”

Pat Cummins, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell, and Mitchell Starc were named in the squad after missing the recent ODI series against South Africa. However, Cummins confided that Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Starc have been unavailable for the series opener.
