Australia skipper Pat Cummins was asked about England’s eight-wicket defeat to Sri Lanka on Thursday. “You mentioned close friends in other teams.

To this, Cummins, with a big smile, replied, saying: “Um, Yeah. Obviously we’ve got them in a couple of games time, so we’ll have a close look there. Yeah, it’s sad to see (he smiles). Don’t have much more.”
