Singapore-born Tim David is make wild card entry in Australia’s T20 World Cup squad, vice Captain Pat Cummins said he was looking forward to the all-rounder’s debut in Australian Team during the three-match series in India.
David, a T20 specialist who was born and bred in Western Australia, he came to limelight after he picked by Mumbai Indians in the IPL Auction.
He shows his Power Hitting skills in the IPL recently, he played T20 Cricket all around the World.
Tim David is expected to make his Australia debut because Mitchell Marsh and Marcus Stoinis, two all-rounders are out due to injuries.
“It’s great to see Tim David get his chance,” fast bowler Cummins, who leads Australia in the Test format, told reporters on a video conference on Sunday. “He’s been right up there with the best in the world.
“Batting in the middle order of T20 cricket is a really tough spot. You see most of the run scorers opening, or batting top of the order. It’s really hard to be consistent coming in when there’s spin bowlers or at the end of the innings. I think he’s been fantastic.
“If he gets his chance, hopefully he can continue doing what he’s been doing in the domestic leagues around the world. I think he’s an X-factor. He just goes about it slightly differently so look forward to it.”
“Just the normal Aaron Fitch. He’s been great,” Cummins said of what he saw of Finch, after returning to the side having skipped Australia’s recent ODIs to manage his workload.
“I had a bit of a chat with him. He said he’s in a really good space. Even in the ODIs, he knew it was time in his own mind. So he seems fantastic again.
“It was only 12 months ago that he led us to a T20 World Cup victory. So he’s really raring to go and he’ll be a key player as he always is.”
