Australian fast bowler Pat Cummins, who was the most expensive player in the Indian Premier League 2020 auction, has distanced himself from the Big Bash League. Cummins has distanced himself from Australia's T20 League Big Bash League to prepare for the ODI series to be played next year against India. Australia's star fast bowler Pat Cummins was bought by the Kolkata Knight Riders team at the IPL 2020 auction last week with a hefty bid of Rs 15.50 crore. He became the second most expensive selling player in IPL history.

Cummins, the world's number one Test bowler, believes he needs a break. He has informed Cricket Australia about his break. According to the information, he will not be part of the team in the Big Bash this time.

Coach Shane Bond Said, "He is a great man, he is with our team. He has been great for us (last season). We respect his decision to take a break from his game. We would like to say that if he comes back he will always be welcomed into the team."David Warner praised the bowler on Sunday, saying, "Cummins has bowled more than any other bowler in international cricket this year. He maintained his fitness consistently during the World Cup and Ashes series. His best thing is that he does a lot to keep himself fit for all three formats of cricket. "
