Australian captain Pat Cummins will lead the Sunrisers Hyderabad at this year’s Indian Premier League, the franchise confirmed on Monday.
Earlier this summer, the 31-year-old was signed by the Sunrisers on a AU$3.67 million, which was a record before national teammate Mitchell Starc surpassed that tally a couple of hours later.
Cummins, who has never captained an IPL side before, will replace South African batter Aiden Markram as the Hyderabad skipper for the T20 tournament, which gets underway later this month.
The New South Welshman will be joined by Australian batter Travis Head, Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga, Indian bowler Bhuvneshwar Kumar and South African all-rounder Marcus Jansen in a talented Sunrisers squad.
