‘Consistency with the same squad is key’: Pat Cummins
When asked about the brilliant milestone of winning all the major trophies in Test cricket, Australian captain Pat Cummins said that Test cricket constantly challenges him as a skipper and you need more than 11 players and an amazing support staff to win everywhere in the world.
“I didn’t know that we’d won kind of everything until half an hour ago but that’s always the aim. One of the things I love most about test cricket is it challenges you in so many different ways. You need more than 11 players, you need an amazing squad, you need amazing support staff to be able to win everywhere in the world” said Cummins in the post-match press conference.
Australia will next face Sri Lanka in the two-match Test series, starting from January 29. Pat Cummins and Co. have already qualified for the WTC final and will face South Africa on June 11, 2025.
