Cummins was quoted as saying by Sydney Morning Herald –

“I honestly haven’t read anything. A few things have come across my desk from the boys having a laugh. I’ve been in this job two years now, and you learn pretty quickly that you’ve got to have a thick skin.”

Cummins added – “It’s such a great bunch of players and staff here that we all know what everyone is about.

“And how we are going to go about it, and for me, that’s more important than anything else. I’m not going to please everyone and everyone’s got opinions, but they aren’t facts, they’re opinions.

Cummins said of captaincy –

“I think it does have a shelf life. I won’t put a date on it, I’ve got to get there first, I feel like every Test match I learn quite a bit. You just get exposed to more things with each game.

“I’m loving working with this team and the staff. Enjoying it at the moment, we’ll see what the future holds. I feel like with each game I’m getting better and I think there’s a fair bit more left in me.
