The forthcoming T20 World Cup 2024, set to be held from June 1 to 29 in West Indies and USA, promises to be a significant occasion, with 20 teams vying for glory. With the global tournament on the horizon, several past and present cricketers have shared their thoughts on the potential semi-finalists. Adding to the discussion, Pat Cummins has offered his perspective on the matter.

Pat Cummins’ confident response on probable semi-finalists

In an interview with CNBC, Australian ODI and Test captain Cummins grabbed attention with his bold statement regarding the potential four semi-finalists at the upcoming marquee event. Cummins confidently stated that Australia would secure a spot, leaving the interviewer to select the remaining three.

“Definitely Australia. And then you can choose which three you want,” Cummins told CNBC.

The interviewer chuckled at his candidness before pressing Cummins again to name the other three teams. Undeterred, Cummins reiterated his confidence, stating that he wasn’t concerned about the other teams.

“I don’t care; you can pick any of them,” the 30-year-old stated.
