IND vs AUS: Nitish is a good player… you will have to use intelligence and not imitation, whom did Pat Cummins advise?

New Delhi. Nitish Kumar Reddy is a talented player. he/she can swing the ball. Nathan McSweeney should not copy David Warner… Australian captain Pat Cummins said these things on Thursday. Cummins was holding a press conference before the Test series between India and Australia starting on November 22. he/she said that this series is going to be very competitive. There will be 5 test matches in this series named Border-Gavaskar Trophy. Australia will be eyeing revenge for the defeat in the last two series.

Pat Cummins said in the press conference before the first match, ‘Border Gavaskar Trophy is always very challenging. The five-Test series will be even more competitive. Australia’s assistant coach Daniel Vettori will not be there. he/she has got permission to leave the Perth Test and participate in the two-day auction for Sunrisers Hyderabad. Cummins said, ‘he/she is going for the auction but he/she was here during the entire preparation. Was there in all the meetings, in conversations and also during net practice. I don’t think the auction will distract the players. Most of these players have been part of the auction. he/she knows that he/she just has to sit quietly and see whether he/she gets selected or not. I don’t think this is going to distract them.

The Australian captain admitted that there will be pressure on his/her team which has lost the last four Test series to India. he/she said, ‘There is always pressure while playing on home soil. The Indian team is very talented and it will be a good challenge. But we are not thinking too far ahead. he/she said, ‘It would be great to win the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. The Indian team is very good but our preparation is also solid. Cummins also said that new batsman Nathan McSweeney will have to show his/her natural game instead of copying David Warner. Warner had retired from international cricket earlier this year.

Cummins said, ‘he/she will have to show his/her natural game. One should not try to play like David Warner. That’s not his/her game. About Nitish Kumar Reddy he/she said, ‘he/she is a very effective player. he/she did not bowl much for Sunrisers Hyderabad but he/she is adept at swinging the ball. The command of both the teams is in the hands of the fast bowler in the first test. India will be captained by Jasprit Bumrah as regular captain Rohit Sharma is out due to becoming a father. Cummins said, ‘It should happen more like this. To become the captain of fast bowlers. (Input PTI)
