MIGUEL CUMMINS is following in the footsteps of the late Malcolm Marshall.
The Barbadian fast bowler, who like Marshall is a product of the Parkinson Memorial School, was yesterday named to replace the injured Shannon Gabriel in the West Indies squad for the ongoing Test series in Australia.
Cummins, 25, has taken 99 wickets at an average of 22.83 in 36 first-class matches. He has made one international appearance for West Indies in an One Day International against Ireland at Sabina Park, Jamaica, in February, 2014.
He has been active over the past month, playing in the Regional Professional Cricket League where he has captured 16 wickets at an average of 20.43 apiece in five first-class matches.
