Australia captain Pat Cummins will appear in a brand-new animated series that aims to teach kids about the fun and passion of cricket. The show, Snick and Willow, honors friendship, fair play, and the love of cricket by following two young cricket fans on a journey around the world.

The cartoon series, which is produced by Xentrix Studios, revolves around Willow, a fast-bowling Australian girl, and Snick, a lively Indian lad. In an effort to protect their local cricket club from avaricious developers, the two get together to look for lost cricket artifacts. Through the prism of their favorite sport, students gain important insights into community, culture, and teamwork along the road. The show's animation Cummins character is still being developed.

The project has unique significance for Cummins. He said, “Helping grow cricket at the grassroots level has always been close to my heart. Snick and Willow is a creative and exciting way to introduce the game to young fans all over the world."
