Patrick James Cummins (born 8 May 1993[1]) is an Australian cricketer. A fast bowler, he made his Test debut at age 18 and plays domestic cricket for New South Wales. Cummins is a fast bowler who regularly bowls faster than 145 km/h.[2]
Career [edit]
Domestic [edit]
Cummins played junior cricket at Glenbrook Blaxland Cricket Club near the Blue Mountains before playing first-grade cricket for Penrith in 2010.[3] In the preliminary final of the 2010–11 KFC Twenty20 Big Bash against Tasmania Cummins took 4 for 16 and was named man of the match.[2] He finished with Nathan Lyon as the leading wicket-taker in the tournament.[4] In March 2011 he made his first-class debut.
He joined the Sydney Sixers franchise in 2011.[5]
International [edit]
Cummins made his Test debut at the The Wanderers ground in Johannesburg in November 2011, becoming Australia's youngest test cricketer since Ian Craig in 1953.[6] Cummins took 1/38 and 6/79, becoming the second youngest test cricketer (behind Enamul Haque Jr) to take six wickets in an innings.[7] He then scored 13 runs in the second innings, including a four to win the match, and was presented with the Man of the Match award.
Cummins was granted a Cricket Australia contract in June 2011,[8] and in October 2011 he played two Twenty20 matches for Australia against South Africa. On the basis of his performances in these games (he took 3/25 and 2/26), Cummins was selected for Test squad to play South Africa, in what was described as a "meteoric rise".[9] On debut, he took six wickets in the second innings.[10]
Cummins was selected in Australia's provisional team for the ICC Under-19 World Cup to be held in Queensland in August 2012.[11]
Personal life [edit]
Cummins grew up at Mount Riverview in the Blue Mountains with his two brothers and two sisters.[12] He attended St Paul's Grammar School,[13] and is an Elite Athlete Program scholar and Bachelor of Business student at the University of Technology, Sydney.[14] As a child he idolised Brett Lee, with whom he later briefly played domestic and international cricket.[5][15]
