Australia captain Pat Cummins will fly back home in the middle of the high-profile India vs Australia Test series to attend a private family matter, Australian media reported in the early hours of Monday 20 February. Cummins is expected to join the team back ahead of the 3rd Test match, set to begin on March 1 in Indore. Under the leadership of Cummins, Australia have not fared well in the subcontinent in the ongoing tour, losing back to back Test matches. They have fallen flat against the spin Test and have succumbed to defeats inside the first three days of both Tests - in Nagpur and New Delhi. Australia are in threat of crashing out of the World Test Championship final if they get cleansweeped by India in the series. Coming into the four match tour, Australia were primed to play the final in England, against either India, Sri Lanka or South Africa.
