Some Things Are More Important In Life Than A Game Of Cricket: Gillespie On Cummins' Absence

By IANS News February 25, 2023 • 13:28 PM View: 1244

Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie said Test captain Pat Cummins should be given the chance to miss the remainder of the Test series against India, adding that some things are more important in life than a cricket match.

Cummins left India for his home in Sydney shortly after Australia's six-wicket defeat in the second Test at Arun Jaitley Stadium in New Delhi to spend time with his sick mother, who is currently in palliative care. In his absence for the third Test, starting from March 1 in Indore, Steve Smith will be captaining Australia.
