after the conclusion of the second Test in Delhi to be by the side of his ailing mother, Maria, who remains in palliative care.Barmy Army,

tribute to Cummins mother during Englands Test against New Zealand in Wellington
I imply, thats wonderful, batting terrific Ricky Ponting stated in the latest episode of The ICC Review
And thats the precise point that I was making about how little the cricket fraternity is and how tight and how close it is
Ive stated this for forever, I was lucky to play a great deal of Ashes cricket and fortunate to witness a great deal of truly good,
lighthearted small talk from the Barmy Army
I think they are the very best group of sporting fans that Ive ever seen

I have really talked to Pat a couple of times, Ponting said

Im sure that he wouldve received a lot of well-wishes from all parts of the world, the cricket-loving fraternity, that wouldve sent out some
messages of support to him and the rest of his family in obviously what is a truly challenging time for them
Ponting also worried on personal privacy for the Cummins household in this hour of crisis
I dont require to state anything too public, however just to let him know everybodys thinking of him and his family and, hopefully,
everybody appreciates that and provides the time and the privacy that they require
I guess from the cricket enthusiasts point of view also, everybody simply wants to see Pat back out there playing once again
