Prasidh Krishan debuted for India a couple of weeks ago and they are great to work with. I will learn more of them than they can learn off me."

"The more you play the more you can overthink the game, the more you think you know everything. It's really refreshing to see 18-19 years old just come in and bowl and I think that's as pure as cricket as you will ever see. So I love seeing them, they are always trying new things different slowers balls. They are really free in the way they go about it," added Cummins.
