Cricket World Cup: Pat Cummins to put his name in IPL 2024 auction | Cricket-world-cup News
Australia skipper Pat Cummins wants to continue as ODI captain and announced that he will put his name in the IPL action after skipping the IPL 2023 to focus on his international commitments. Kolkata Knight Riders had bought Cummins for Rs 7.5 crore in the 2022 IPL auction.
The IPL 2024 will be played before the T20 World Cup in the United States and the Caribbean, which will be an ideal preparation for the tournament.
“I feel like I haven’t played a heap of T20 cricket and in some ways I feel like I haven’t played my best T20 cricket for a little while,” he told reporters.

The 30-year-old has guided Australia to the World Cup semifinals on the back of seven straight wins after opening two losses. Most Read

Asked about his future as ODI captain, he said: “Potentially, yeah. We’ll chat about it. We’ve been pretty open, me and Andrew (head coach) and George (selector) around different times in the year you’re going to have different priorities.
“This is a bit of a one-off year where there’s three or four big off-season events. After here the focus shifts back to Test cricket for a fair while. Probably like we’ve done in the past, at times white-ball cricket is going to have to shift (as a priority) so we fully focus on Test cricket. There’s no end date in sight.
“I feel like I’ve been managed really well and looked after in a really, really busy year where you don’t really want to give up any cricket,” he said.
