‘Play Really Good Cricket But... Live Your Life': Cummins Shares Leadership Mantra Inspired by his mother
World Test Championship: Australian captain Pat Cummins has revealed the personal struggles and lessons that have shaped his leadership style, emphasising the importance of living a full life both on and off the cricket field.
Cummins, reflecting on the challenges he faced during the Test tour of India in February 2023, spoke candidly about the emotional turmoil he experienced as he grappled with his mother's illness. He was heavily scrutinised as his side fell to a 2-0 deficit in the series, which kept the Border-Gavaskar Trophy in Indian hands.
"I knew when I was getting on that plane (to the India tour) I was going to have to come back in a couple of weeks," Cummins told cricket.com.au. "Maybe only a handful of people knew that was going to be the case. For those couple of weeks, I was in India, especially now I look back at it, my mind was not in India. It was back home the whole time," he added.
