Cummings, 27, was born in Scotland but qualifies for Australia through his mother, and is already a cult hero in the A-League.<\/p>\n

\ufeffThere's injury clouds hanging over three squad members – Kye Rowles, Harry Souttar, and Martin Boyle – but Arnold is confident of all three being fit to play a role in the World Cup.<\/p>\n

"It's been a unique and difficult qualification campaign and we now arrive in Qatar with an exciting squad which will do everything to make Australia proud on the world stage," Arnold said.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"Over the past four years, 32 players have made their debut for the national team. I want to thank every player who has helped the team over this journey.<\/p>\n

"We have called upon 68 players during the qualifying campaign and every one of them has played a part in getting us here.<\/p>\n

"The make-up of our team reflects Australia's multicultural landscape. Our boys come from all over the world, they all have different journeys, but we are united by one jersey."<\/p>\n
