Pat Cummins focused on winning the Ashes: "It's a final thing to tick off the list"

• Cricket

Pat Cummins has done a fantastic job as a captain and has accomplished significant success; he enjoys the role he is playing for Team Australia and is ready to continue to serve as the captain for as long as he thinks it's possible.

Team Australia is one victory away from securing the series; if it wasn't for the rain, perhaps things would have been different, but it is what it is. England has a tough task ahead, and it will be fascinating to see if they can level up the series by giving Australia the bitter taste of defeat.

Pat Cummins and Team Australia have nothing but one goal in mind, and that's to win the Ashes; the match is going to start in a while. Australia has won the toss and has elected to bowl first.

Pat Cummins on his captaincy and the ashes

Pat Cummins recently shared his thoughts on him being the captain for Team Australia and talked about the intentions Australia has for the final test match.

"I think it (captaincy) does have a shelf life," Cummins said, as quoted by cricbuzz.com. "I won't put a date on it, I've got to get there first. I feel like every test match I learn quite a bit, you just get exposed to more things with each game.

I'm loving working with this team and the staff. Enjoying it at the moment, we'll see what the future holds. Feel like with each game, getting better, and I think there's a fair bit more left in me. If we win this one and you look back, it's been an incredible tour over here really.

We've played five games, we've won three and only lost one. Cummins further said: It's already a fantastic tour. But to go home, winning the urn will be phenomenal. It's a final thing to tick off the list of titles to win for a few of the guys, who again you never know if they'll get another chance to do it. So, we've said the whole time, our aim is to come here and win the Ashes and that's the opportunity ahead of us".
