San Francisco Unicorns: Australia Test and ODI captain Pat Cummins will play for San Francisco Unicorns in the second edition of the Major League Cricket (MLC) in the USA, said a report

The speedster led Australia to their sixth ODI World Cup title in 2023 and also guided Sunrisers Hyderabad to the IPL 2024 final. In a major signing by Unicorns, who shares a strategic relationship with Victoria's first-class set up in Australia, the 31-year-old is expected to lead the side after Aaron Finch's retirement, Cricbuzz reported.

Beginning five days after the culmination of the T20 World Cup, Cummins' three-week stint in the MLC will bring an end to his arduous cricket season that he began with the tour of New Zealand in February.
