Born on 5th September 1990 in the cricketing hotbed of the West Indies, Miguel Cummins grew up with the echoes of the region's storied fast-bowling legacy ringing in his ears. The lush, vibrant landscapes of Barbados served as the backdrop to his early forays into cricket, where he honed his craft on the local pitches, gradually growing from a passionate youngster to a formidable bowler. Right from his school days, Miguel's potential was evident. His raw pace and aggression with the ball marked him as a player to watch, and it wasn't long before he caught the attention of selectors.

Cummins made his professional debut for Barbados in 2011, where he immediately demonstrated his ability to trouble batsmen with his right-arm fast-medium deliveries. Yet, it was in 2015 that he made his international debut against Australia, a baptism by fire that would set the tone for his international career. His early years were peppered with battles against some of the best batsmen in the world and, often, his sheer will and determination stood out more than the numbers in the scorebook.

One of the most defining matches in Miguel's career came during the 2016 Test series against India. It was in the third Test that his fierce bowling claimed 9 wickets in the match, shaking the expectations of both fans and critics alike. This performance cemented his place in the team and showcased his ability to deliver under pressure. Cummins’s bowling style, characterised by his sharp bouncers and incisive seaming deliveries, often left batsmen guessing.

Though not primarily known for his batting, Miguel's left-handed batting occasionally came in handy. His innings were less about scores and more about grit, often standing resilient to add crucial runs when his team needed them most.

Throughout his career, Miguel was known for his competitive spirit and an undying quest to emulate the legendary fast bowlers of his region. His presence on the field was commanding, and even amid fierce rivalries and intense matches, he always emerged as a passionate ambassador for Caribbean cricket. Miguel Cummins may not have always dominated the cricketing headlines, but his perseverance and dedication made him an indelible part of the West Indies cricket narrative, inspiring a new generation of aspiring bowlers.
