'Incredibly safe' Pat Cummins wants Australia to be relentless against Pakistan
Australia players are feeling "incredibly safe" after arriving for their first tour of Pakistan in 24 years and raring to dish out their aggressive brand of cricket, Test captain Pat Cummins said on Sunday. Top teams have shunned Pakistan since gunmen attacked a visiting Sri Lanka team in Lahore in 2009 and a heavy security dragnet has been thrown around Australia's six-week tour beginning with the first Test in Rawalpindi on March 4. "I feel incredibly safe," Cummins, on his first overseas tour since taking over the Test captaincy, told a virtual news conference. "We've been really well looked after by the PCB (Pakistan Cricket Board). Upon arrival there's been lots of security. We were straight off the plane and straight to the hotel. "We've got a pretty good set-up here and we'll be confined to the hotel except for games and training."
