Australia National Cricket Team captain Pat Cummins and his wife Becky shared heartwarming news on social media on Saturday (February 8). Cummins has recently taken a short break from the game to welcome his second child, but his ankle injury eventually ruled him out of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.

However, the Australian pacer has got the delightful gift that has surely given him a reason to celebrate amidst the disappointment of missing out on the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, starting on February 19 in Karachi, Pakistan.

Additionally, Becky and Cummins shared a sweet moment on their Instagram story, as they posted a picture of themselves enjoying a peaceful walk on a Sydney beach with their newborn daughter.

Meanwhile, Pat Cummins has always been vocal about balancing family and cricket. After missing precious moments when his first child, Albie, was born, the Australian skipper vowed to be more present for his family this time.

He had already shared his desire to inspire fellow cricketers to maintain a healthier balance between their professional commitments and personal lives.

Pat Cummins calls for a balance between work and family in the modern era

Cummins had earlier stated: “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. Within reason, no one is ever going to bat an eyelid if someone needs to put their family first.”

However, this has now become a trend in the modern era, with players like Travis Head and Mitch Marsh recently taking paternity leave during the series against Pakistan. Even Virat Kohli returned home from the Australia tour in 2020 to be there for the birth of his first child.

Most recently, India captain Rohit Sharma also missed the first Test of the recent Border-Gavaskar Trophy 2024-25 to welcome his second child, a baby boy, last year.
