Pat Cummins Controversies

Coach Justin Langer March (2022)

As the Australian team gets ready for the third and final Test against Pakistan in Lahore on March 21 captain Pat Cummins acknowledges that he has learned some difficult lessons since former coach Justin Langer left. 

But the Test icon Langer's resignation after Cricket Australia declined to support him beyond the forthcoming domestic T20 World Cup immediately put his mettle to the test. If media allegations are accurate several senior players and certain support personnel don't support me moving forward and the CA board clearly wants the squad to take a different path. In his resignation email Langer stated "I respect that decision." Due to this Cummins and the senior Australian squad members came under fire. Former speed bowler Mitchell Johnson called Cummins "disrespectful" and "gutless."

The Test captain said to Johnson "failed his first big test as captain quite badly."
"This is a high-performance atmosphere and we all go through a high-performance evaluation " Pat Cummins said. I'm sorry Pat but that's crap and it just smells stage-managed he remarked.

I don't believe anyone enjoyed the circumstance but in terms of what I might have done differently I'm not sure stated Cummins. "I don't make decisions." I was probably mistaken for the captain; I believe I was likely given more credit than I did because I was merely relaying information from his players.

It helped me understand my responsibility: to do what's best for our team our environment and Australian cricket overall. "It strengthened my convictions about what I believe to be right and who I should listen to and it made me consider where my responsibilities lie " the speaker said.

Racist Remark (June 2022)

Before the ODIs in June 2022 Cummins discovered himself at the centre of a controversy. The well-known fast bowler shared a photo on his Instagram page of a security guard constantly shadowing cricketer Dravid Warner on the field according to the Australian quick. 

However this was misconstrued on social media as Cummins commenting on the person in question's "black shadow" after one of his Twitter followers snapped a screenshot of the message. He was even charged with racism by some.

When a fan posted the exclusive clip of what Cummins had said it became evident that the security officer had been misunderstood. Later the confusion was resolved when a fan posted the entire clip showing Cummins never intended to disparage the security guard but rather to focus on his duties.
