Cummins has opted out of the third Test in Indore to be with his ill mother. "It wouldn't surprise me if we didn't see him on this tour [again]. If I was in charge, I'd probably just say to him, ‘stay at home'. The series is gone, we can't win the series, and there are series coming up this year," said Gillespie.
