Cummins at the Centre of Controversy 

While Cummins enjoyed a successful IPL campaign, he faced criticism recently for his decision to attend a Coldplay concert instead of playing in a crucial ODI match against Pakistan. Australia lost the series-deciding game by eight wickets, marking Pakistan’s first ODI series win on Australian soil in 22 years.

The decision to rest key players like Cummins, Steve Smith, and Mitchell Starc raised eyebrows. Critics questioned why these senior players could not participate in such an important match. Former Australian captain Michael Clarke voiced his discontent on a radio show, asking, “With 11 days until the first Test, why couldn’t these guys play in the one-day game?” His comments reflect a growing frustration among fans and analysts regarding player management strategies.

Adding fuel to the fire, Cummins’ wife shared a photo from the concert on social media while Australia suffered its defeat. This timing intensified scrutiny over his commitment to the national team during critical matches.
