Lee backs Cummins to join Oz pace attack for South Africa Test series

Melbourne, Nov 6(ANI): Australian fast bowler Brett Lee reckons that teenager Patrick Cummins has the talent to join the national team's pace attack for the two-Test series against South Africa, which starts in Cape Town on Wednesday.

Lee, however, warned the 18-year-old that his toughest test would be to remain "true to himself".

"You have to be yourself. I'd tell Pat don't try to morph into someone you're not and definitely don't play the game of cricket the way you think people might want you to play it," the Sydney Morning Herald quoted Lee, as saying.

"Pat has to be true to himself [whenever he gets his chance]. He will have to back his own judgment and his own ability, but just as importantly, he'll need to have some fun along the way," he added. (ANI)
