Cummins' Odyssey: Aussies embark on legacy-defining year
Australia's veteran unit have achieved just about everything in international cricket. But against Bangladesh in Darwin they begin a 12-month run unlike any seen before
Before Cape Town, the MCG, Chennai, the MCG again, or Lord's, there is Darwin. Along with Mackay, set for its Test debut next week, Australia's north is the remote start line for a quad-continental 2026-27 adventure.
In a year's time, Pat Cummins' men will be a fortnight removed from an Ashes tour that caps a 12-month stretch of Test cricket which will be the first, and probably the last, of its kind. By then Australia will know whether beginning their legacy-defining stretch of games with the oldest XI they have fielded in a century was masterstroke, lunacy, or somewhere in the middle.

It appears that all-rounders Cam Green and Beau Webster will both be picked for the opening Test after cricket journalist Bharat Sundaresan posted a picture to social media showing both Green and Webster in the slips cordon.
Webster was pictured at first slip, next to keeper Alex Carey and Steve Smith at second slip with Green in his preferred position of gully.

Allrounder Beau Webster insists his number one asset is being one of Australia's top batters, which is why he is determined to hold his place in the Test team whether Cameron Green is in it or not.
The 32-year-old suggested he is likely to bat at No.7 in the first Test against Bangladesh in Darwin, which would likely position fellow allrounder Green at No.5 and wicketkeeper Alex Carey at No.6.
Webster's five Test fifties in eight Tests at an average of 41.09 confirm why he is in the team, but throw in his 11 wickets at 24.54 and the value he offers becomes clear.
