Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins believes New Zealand will enjoy better conditions in India during the current rainy season in the final Test of the World Test Championship (WTC) in Southampton starting June 18. Cummins, who represented Kolkata Knight Riders in the Indian Premier League, did not win the final.
During a question-and-answer session with fans on YouTube, Cummins said, “It’s going to be a good match.” From what I’ve seen in the news, I think there’s a lot of rain in England. In terms of circumstances it is probably closer to the New Zealand climate. Cummins, who has been spending time in Carinthine since his arrival from the Maldives after the IPL was suspended due to Kovid-19 cases, said: “We have seen both teams not play Test matches for months.” In such a situation, it would be a match for equality. Anything can happen. ‘

The 28-year-old fast bowler said, “If I had to say anything, I would say that circumstances make the New Zealand team more like India.” Cummins has taken 70 wickets in 14 matches at the World Test Championships, but India’s spinner Ravichandran Ashwin can beat him after the final. Ashwin has taken 67 wickets in 13 Tests during this period. Cummins said he liked the WTC concept and regretted being eliminated from the finals.
He said, ‘The situation became a little difficult due to the Kovid-19. I enjoyed it all the way. This slightly increased the importance of each series and added a different dimension. I really liked this format. ‘When asked about his name in the series with the Indian team’s win at Gaba (Brisbane) earlier this year, he said,’ Our record at Gaba is outstanding. I thought the fifth day was right for us. At first things were going according to us, but then India showed a good game. He also showed the confidence he gained from Gaba’s Sydney.
