Australia pace spearhead Pat Cummins feels his T20 game is at its best in a decade as he heads into the World Cup high on confidence after a successful Indian Premier League campaign.
Cummins reached Bridgetown on Saturday. He enters the World Cup after a hectic IPL campaign where he led the Sunrisers Hyderabad to a runner up finish.
&ldquo;Probably as well as I have for the last 10 years really,&rdquo; Cummins told cricket.com.au of his T20 bowling.
Having never played in the Caribbean, the Australian Test and ODI captain had his first-ever training session in the West Indies on Monday.
But Cummins is confident of how he&rsquo;s placed ahead of the World Cup, having continuously played T20 cricket since March in the IPL.
&ldquo;We played 17 games straight [at the IPL]. For the most part, international T20s are after the Test series, and you&rsquo;ve got to try and hit a yorker or a slower ball, and then go back to a Test series,&rdquo; Cummins said.
&ldquo;So just getting the pace of the game and executing some of those balls that you need more in T20 cricket than in other formats, I feel really well placed.&rdquo; Cummins feels that sticking to the same format significantly impacts the tactical side of bowling.
&ldquo;A lot of T20 bowling in particular is about thinking through your sequencing of which ball to bowl or when, and I think over the course of the season you get to learn pretty quickly what&rsquo;s working and what isn&rsquo;t,&rdquo; he said.
&ldquo;Even if it doesn&rsquo;t work first game, and you feel like it&rsquo;s never going to work every game, but you know that if you zoom out over the course of the tournament it&rsquo;s going to work for you. So it&rsquo;s nice coming in here with that confidence.&rdquo;
