New skipper Pat Cummins admitted on Wednesday that Australia have a point to prove after their failure at the T20 World Cup, with champions England in their sights in a one-day series this week. Australia went into the World Cup as defending champions but failed to go beyond the group phase, in contrast to Jos Buttler’s men who powered to the title with a gripping win against Pakistan on Sunday.
“Yeah, I think you always have a point to prove, especially playing here in Australia,” said Test captain Cummins, who will lead the one-day team for the first time on Thursday. “We want to win every series we play. The core of this squad was part of that T20 side so... it’s a different format, but we probably didn’t play as well as we know we can and this gives us an opportunity straight away to play against the best. They face England in three one-dayers, starting in Adelaide before moving to Sydney and then Melbourne.
