Pat Cummins Told His Story

It was a story Pat Cumminshad uncovered back in 2011 in a meeting with cricket.com.au, not long from now before his presentation in South Africa. The episode happened when he was three or four years of age when his hand got banged by an entryway, and because of it, he lost the highest point of his finger.

"I lost the highest point of my finger when I was around three or four (years of age)," he had said. " It got rammed in an entryway and I lost about a centimeter off the highest point of my finger. It doesn't influence me because (the finger) is about a similar length as the other one (pointer)."
