Pat Cummins Denies Match Manipulation Controversy

Australian cricketer Pat Cummins has emphasized that Australia would never manipulate their net run rate to affect England's T20 World Cup 2024 chances, citing it as against the Spirit of Cricket. This comes after teammate Josh Hazlewood's controversial remarks, which Cummins clarified were taken out of context. Despite discussions around resting players, Cummins highlighted Australia's commitment to playing competitively. The team's focus remains on the upcoming match against Scotland, with potential player rotations and Mitchell Starc's return from injury anticipated.
