Australian pacer Pat Cummins will captain the San Francisco Unicorns in the second season of Major League Cricket, joining other Australian players in the US-based league.

Australian pacer Pat Cummins is all set to feature in the second season of Major League Cricket (MLC) for San Fransisco Unicorns. It’s a massive signing for the US-based league, which is making quick headways into the cricketing ecosystem.

According to Cricbuzz, Cummins will replace Aaron Finch as the Unicorns’ captain. His captaincy credentials are over the roof after leading Australia to the ODI World Cup, the World Test Championship, and most recently, SunRisers Hyderabad to the final of IPL 2024. He has also evolved brilliantly as a T20 bowler.

Several Australian players are already part of the MLC, including Travis Head, Glenn Maxwell, Spencer Johnson, Steve Smith, and Jake Fraser Mcgurk. A few more, like T20I captain Mitchell Marsh, are expected to join them soon. Former captain Ricky Ponting will also join Washington Freedom as head coach.

The Aussie interest in the competition seems to be hinging on the lighter workload. The second season will begin just five days after the ongoing 2024 T20 World Cup in the US and the West Indies but will last only three weeks.

This provides a perfect opportunity for cricketers to participate in a  tournament without the long-term commitments of other leagues. With Cummins at the helm, the San Fransisco Unicorns are poised for an exciting season ahead in the MLC.
