World Test Championship Final: Australia skipper Pat Cummins could miss some of next year's Test series against Sri Lanka, as his wife Becky is due to give birth to their second child.

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’s 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.

"Yeah, it’s definitely a factor. We haven’t worked out exactly what that looks like – it’s pretty hard to plan exactly the day, but definitely,” Cummins told Sydney Mornig Herald.
