In the long arc of Australian cricket, moments of triumph in one form of the game have often served as kindling for ambition in another. Fresh from their maiden T20 World Cup title — claimed in Dubai with a commanding victory over New Zealand — Australia's Test vice-captain Pat Cummins now turns his gaze toward the Ashes, that oldest and most storied of rivalries, beginning at home in December. He speaks not merely of momentum, but of identity: a team that had lost its way finding, in a single tournament, the thread of belief that might yet define an era.
