Jason Cummings says he is 'absolutely buzzing' after he received a call up to the Australia squad ahead of the World Cup in Qatar.
The former Scotland international, who had previously only been capped in friendlies against Netherlands and Hungary in 2017 and 2018, has switched allegiances after reviving his career with Central Coast Mariners. The Socceroos qualified for the Qatar showpiece in June when they edged past Peru on penalties and gaffer Graham Arnold has just announced his 31-man squad ahead of their warm up double header against New Zealand, at home in Brisbane on September 22 then away in Auckland on September 25.
The former Hibs and Rangers striker was left out of the squad that qualified for the tournament despite firing 11 goals in 22 A-League games. But boss Arnold previously said his dream was still very much alive - and after continuing to impress down under he has finally received his call up.
