Australia fast bowler Pat Cummins is set to become a father for the first time as he and fiancé Becky Boston are expecting their first child this coming spring. Becky Boston is Pat Cummins’ long-time girlfriend and the couple got engaged in February last year.
Pat Cummins recently played in the IPL 2021 for the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) and starred with the bat on a couple of occasions, also hitting a half-century in the tournament. Cummins also donated $50,000 for oxygen supplies as India continues its battle against the second wave of COVID-19.
With nine wickets in seven matches and an emphatic knock of 66* vs CSK in Mumbai, Cummins was one of the most successful KKR players in the first half of IPL 2021. KKR are placed 7th on the points table with 2 wins in 7 matches so far and have 4 points to their name.
Two of the KKR players- Varun Chakravarthy and Sandeep Warrier- were the first ones to test positive for the COVID-19 virus.
This wave has led to the IPL 2021 season being suspended indefinitely and Cummins, along with other Australian players, commentators, and contingent is in the Maldives waiting to get back into Australia, which has closed its borders for outsiders, even their own citizens, and anyone entering the country faces five years in prison.

Pat Cummins and the rest of the Australian contingent wait anxiously in the Maldives for their return home, as with a travel ban on flights from India, the Australians have to quarantine in the Maldives before returning home. Cummins’ fiancé on Mothers Day 2021, announced that their first baby will be coming in the spring. Becky, the speedster’s long-time girlfriend, took to Social Media to announce the couple was expecting the birth of their first child.
