The year 2024 seems to be proving big for Australia's top cricket stars. After having a memorable 2023, the Men in Yellow are all set to fight hard for yet another ICC (International Cricket Council) trophy as the mega T20 cricket carnival is already underway. Besides, many Aussie cricketers also featured in the coveted Indian Premier League (IPL 2024) which concluded recently. In specific, two stars were bought for a mindboggling amount but the pressure of the price tag did not faze the crowd favourites. Yes! One of them happens to be Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) skipper, Pat Cummins.

Now in the latest development, the SRH and Australian ODI and Test captain is all set to play in the second edition of the Major League Cricket (MLC). Notably, franchise San Francisco Unicorns have roped in the megastar to represent the team. Notably, Unicorns are expected to name Cummins as their new leader after the former Australian skipper Aaron Finch retired from cricket. Interestingly, San Francisco share a vital strategic partnership with Cricket Victoria in the domestic circuit of Cricket Australia.

Hence it will be safe to say that the stars are shining bright for Pat Cummins who has been steamrolling even the top batters with his fiery bowling. Notably, the SRH skipper had an impressive run as a leader as the team made it to the knockout stages of the grand IPL. Besides, the Aussie already plays in the renowned Big Bash League (BBL) back in his homeland.
