Sports, Cricket: Pat Cummins and his wife Becky welcomed their second child, a baby girl named Edi. Cummins is currently on paternity leave, prioritizing family time
Australia cricket team captain Pat Cummins and his wife Becky have been blessed with a baby girl. They have named her Edi and she is the couple's second child.
“She’s here. Our beautiful baby girl, Edi … Words can’t describe how overjoyed & full of love we feel right now," Becky Cummins shared on her Instagram account.
Notably, Cummins had taken paternity leave for the birth of Edi and as a result, is not leading the Kangaroos during the ongoing Sri Lanka series. The Australia skipper has been vocal about the need to prioritise family time along with cricket.

Speaking in October, Cummins had said, “I missed a big chunk [of son Albie’s 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,”
“Within reason, no one is ever going to bat an eyelid if someone needs to put their family first…We’re playing cricket, it’s not the end of the world, so we want people to have long, successful careers for Australia, and you can’t just ask them to put their life on hold to go tour the world and forget about everything else. We’re pretty open when it comes to family," the Australian captain added.

"Unfortunately Pat, Josh and Mitch are managing some ongoing injuries and haven't come up in time for the Champions Trophy," national selection panel chairman George Bailey announced earlier this week.
The absence of Pat Cummins and Mitchell Marsh will open the doors for Sean Abbott and Spencer Johnson, both of whom were not included in the tour of Sri Lanka. Post the two-match Test series, Australia will play a one-off ODI before flying to Pakistan for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
