Fresh reports have emerged which suggest Australian skipper, , might miss some or the entire Test series against Sri Lanka scheduled for next year. Cummins, along with wife, Becky Boston, are reportedly expecting the birth of their second child during the same timeframe.
In a recent conversation, he confirmed that the expected birth of their child would be the main reasons as to him missing out a portion of the tour to Sri Lanka.
“Yeah, it’s definitely a factor. We haven’t worked out exactly what that looks like – it’s pretty hard to plan the exact day, but definitely,” Cummins told Sydney Morning Herald.
The 2023 World Cup-winning skipper regretted not spending adequate time with his wife and son, Albie, as biosecurity rules forced Cummins to fly to the UAE for the T20 World Cup just four days after his son’s birth in October 2021.
“I missed a big chunk of son Albie’s early days last time and I want to work out how we can spend a bit more time at home for that initial period this time around,” mentioned Cummins.
