Cricket: Cummins in Australia Test squad

SYDNEY: Teenage fast-bowler Patrick Cummins could become Australia’s youngest Test player in nearly 60 years after being called up for their two-match Test series in South Africa. The 18-year-old replaces James Pattinson in the only change to the squad that beat Sri Lanka 1-0 last month. “Patrick is a very exciting prospect and at just 18 is already showing the ability to have a significant impact at international level,” said chairman of selectors Andrew Hilditch.
