Australia captain Pat Cummins signs for Major League Cricket side San Francisco Unicorns on a deal running from this season until 2027.
The 31-year-old, who is currently leading Australia at the T20 World Cup in the United States and West Indies, has signed a four-year contract to play in MLC from this season until 2027.
He will be part of a squad which also includes New Zealand fast bowler Matt Henry and Pakistan's Haris Rauf. Cummins' fellow Australians Steve Smith, Travis Head and Glenn Maxwell have already signed for Washington Freedom. The 2024 MLC season starts on 5 July. In the media release announcing his signing, Cummins said he was tempted to San Francisco because of the franchise's owners, who are Silicon Valley entrepreneurs.
"While cricket is integral to my involvement, the global network and long-term possibilities offered by the owners specifically, and Silicon Valley more broadly, presented a unique opportunity for me and my life beyond cricket," said Cummins.
