Australia captain Pat Cummins and his wife Beck welcomed their second child and have shared adorable pictures on Instagram of their newborn baby as they become parents for the second time.
With the couple welcoming a girl child this time, the Aussie captain’s wife described their happiness. Cummins has opted out of the two-match test series on Australia’s tour of Sri Lanka 2025 due to an ankle injury and took paternity leave.
As a result, Steve Smith was named as the captain of the series. The 31-year-old and his wife already have a boy named Albie. The Couple tied the knot in August 2022 after getting engaged in February 2020.
Meanwhile, Becky took Instagram and wrote by sharing a picture of their newborn child. “She’s here. Our beautiful baby girl, Edi 🩷 words can’t describe how overjoyed & full of love we feel right now.”
Meanwhile, the right-arm speedster took to his instagram story and shared a picture of Edi’s first trip with them to the beach.
Before the test series against India, Cummins had indicated that he would miss the Sri Lanka tour, given how he had missed his first child’s early days.
Cummins has been ruled out of the Champions Trophy 2025 as he is still recovering from the ankle injury. They will be also missing seamer Josh Hazlewood due to hip injury.
With Mitchell Marsh withdrawn from the tournament, Marcus Stoinis recently announced his ODI retirement despite being named in the squad.
Australia will be searching for four replacements in the squad and with New South Welshman ruled out, Smith and Travis Head are the contenders to lead Australia in the eight team event starting on February 19.
Placed in Group B along with England, South Africa and Afghanistan, Australia will play their first match against England on February 22 at Gaddafi Stadium, Lahore.
