Australia men’s captain Pat Cummins is set to become a father for the second time. His wife Becky Boston dropped a note on social media, saying that the family us ready for a “little more craziness”. Back in 2020, Cummins and Becky got engaged, and they got married on August 2022.

Cummins and Becky also have a son named Albie, who was born on October 8, 2021. On Tuesday, his wife uploaded three pictures with his son to share the news of the couple set to becoming parents again.

“We are so happy to finally share our news! We are so excited to meet you baby, and to add a little more craziness to our lives,” Becky wrote.

‘Been bowling non-stop’

Earlier, Cummins took an eight-week break before taking part in the Test series against India later this year. The speedster, who last played in the T20 World Cup where Australia crashed out before the semis, said that he needed time to re-energise, having played constantly for the last one and half years.

“Everyone that comes back after a break is a little bit fresher, you never regret it. I’ve basically been bowling non-stop since the World Test Championship final, nearly 18 months ago,” Cummins said, as quoted by Fox Sports.

“This gives me a good seven or eight weeks completely off bowling so the body can recover, then you start building up again for the summer. It means you can hopefully bowl for a little bit longer, maintain pace is a bit easier, make you less susceptible to injuries,” he added.

During this time, Cummins also led the Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) to the final of the Indian Premier League (IPL) 2024 where they finished as the runners-up. The opening Test between India and Australia is set to get underway on November 22 at the Perth Stadium.
