Sydney, Nov 16 : Fast bowler Pat Cummins is hoping that the pitches for the upcoming limited-overs and Test series against India will have a “bit more bounce and pace” so as to provide Australia with the “home advantage”.
“Hopefully the (pitch) conditions will be what we as Aussies are accustomed to,” Cummins said on Monday as per cricket.com.au.
“Hopefully they’ve got a bit more bounce and pace than you would a place like India so that home advantage might come into it,” he added.
Cummins, who played for Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League 2020 in the UAE, believes that being a part of the bio-secure bubble has benefited him ahead of the much-anticipated clash against India.
“One of the benefits of being in a bubble in the UAE was we didn’t spend much time travelling,” Cummins said.
“A normal IPL we’re on a flight every second day, different city, so I think sometimes that can be as draining as the playing part,” he added.
