Australia are scheduled to tour early next year for a two-game series, which could be crucial for their World Test Championship Final qualification at Lord\u2019s in June. However, the skipper has prioritised spending more time at home with his wife, who is expecting their second child in late January or early February.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"Yeah, it\u2019s definitely a factor. We haven\u2019t worked out exactly what that looks like \u2013 it\u2019s pretty hard to plan exactly the day, but definitely,\u201d Cummins told Sydney Mornig Herald.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
He also regretted missing time with his wife and son, as biosecurity rules forced Cummins to fly to the UAE for the T20 World Cup just four days after his son's birth in late 2021.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"I missed a big chunk of son Albie\u2019s 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.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
