Preparing too much… Pat Cummins gave a strange statement before the WTC final

London: Australia captain Pat Cummins has no qualms about arriving in England with little practice for the World Test Championship (WTC) final against India instead of playing T20 cricket for two months. Australia’s Cameron Green and David Warner were playing in the IPL while Marnus Labuschagne was part of county cricket. Apart from these three, most of the players in the team will be playing competitive cricket after a long time. When Pat Cummins was asked about less practice ahead of the WTC final on Sunday, he said, ‘It is difficult to get rest in cricket in today’s era. It is good for us. The player, who took 217 Test wickets in 49 matches for Australia, said, ‘I have always said, with six Test matches (including five in the Ashes), it is better to come here with a little less practice than to have played more.

He further said, ‘I am talking from a bowler’s point of view. That’s why I want to be physically fresh. We have trained hard. We are fresh and eager.
