Career Information
Pat Cummins – Australia’s Fearless Leader & World-Class Fast Bowler
Pat Cummins was seen as a future star from a young age, making his Test debut at 18. However, injuries kept him out of the game for six years. When he returned in 2017, he became one of the world’s top fast bowlers. By 2021, Cummins was appointed Australia’s Test captain under dramatic circumstances. He led the team to victory in both the World Test Championship and the ODI World Cup by 2023.
Born where the Blue Mountains meet the sky — in Westmead, Australia — Pat grew up turning backyard dreams into global glory. Now in his early 30s, he’s got the wisdom of experience and the hunger of a debutant.
With a bowling speed that often kisses 145 km/h and beyond, batsmen barely blink before the stumps are rattled. Over the years, this right-arm rocket has bagged over 400 wickets across formats — a number that still grows with every game. Whether it’s red-ball battles or white-ball wars, Cummins brings calm, class, and chaos for batters — all wrapped in one!
