A New Chapter for Cummins

Pat Cummins’ decision to join the MLC is nothing short of groundbreaking. Known for his stellar performances in the Indian Premier League (IPL) and his absence from Australia’s Big Bash League (BBL) since 2018, Cummins has largely focused on international cricket. His move to the MLC, however, highlights the league’s growing allure and potential.

In a statement, Cummins expressed his excitement about the opportunities within the MLC and the vast potential of the US market for cricket. Beyond the sport, he is also keen to engage with the business world, thanks to the franchise’s Silicon Valley based owners, Anand Rajaraman and Venky Harinarayan.

Balancing International and MLC Commitments

The MLC season, running from July 6th to 29th, overlaps with Australia’s tour of the West Indies, raising questions about Cummins’ availability for international matches. As Australia’s Test and ODI captain, his presence is crucial. However, given his recent leadership in the IPL, it’s unlikely that he will completely forgo his T20I commitments.

The San Francisco Unicorns boast an impressive bowling attack with Pakistan’s Haris Rauf and New Zealand’s Matt Henry, adding significant strength to their squad.
