Australia captain Pat Cummins has said the team is “still in disbelief” over cricket legend Shane Warne’s death, but sharing various stories of Warnie has helped players get by. Cummins was speaking in Karachi on Friday, the eve of the second Test against hosts Pakistan that will be played at the National Stadium.
“Yeah, I think everyone is still in disbelief. We have shared a lot of stories, especially [Shane] Warney, who was a hero to a lot of our players growing up. He is still one of our favourite cricketers,” Cummins said. The Australian captain added that leg-spinner Mitchell Swepson, who is set to make his debut, will mark a “special” moment as he tries to replicate Warne. “I think it is quite special that someone like Mitchell Swepson is going to debut tomorrow as a leg-spinner, who grew up trying to replicate Warnie.”
