India, May 14 -- Australian captain Pat Cummins made a rare appearance on his public X profile to make a categorical denial of reports in Australian media this week that alleged he was part of a group of players who were considering jumping ship from the Big Bash League in order to play in the SA20 instead.

Cummins, who is leading the Aussies in Test and ODI cricket and is currently in India as part of the Sunrisers Hyderabad for the IPL, was in vehement opposition against the reports that claimed Australian players would attempt to threaten the CA, and thereby increase the salary they would earn for opting for the BBL over other lucrative franchise leagues held in the same period over the Aussie summer.
