‘Maxy was at a private event, not with team’: Pat Cummins

Pat Cummins and Glenn Maxwell

They “didn’t cross paths” but Australia captain Pat Cummins was at the same venue from where his World Cup-winning teammate Glenn Maxwell was rushed to hospital after a reported late-night drinking session and the star pacer responded to the incident by saying “any decision you make you’ve got to own it”. Both Cummins and Maxwell were attending a concert by Six and Out, the band which features former pacer Brett Lee, in Adelaide. Cummins said he left the venue much before his teammate allegedly lost consciousness and had to be taken to the hospital in an ambulance.

“Potentially, I think only Maxy can answer that one,” Cummins was quoted as saying by The Sydney Morning Herald when asked whether Maxwell needed to reconsider his choices. “I was there at the Gov for the concert, but I left pretty early. I knew he was in town, but I didn’t cross paths with Maxy at all,” he said.

The World Cup-winning captain added, “We’re all adults and part of being an adult is you make your own decisions. In terms of this incident, he wasn’t on tour with Australia, he was over there for a private event, so he wasn’t with the cricket team. So it is a little bit different, but absolutely, any decision you make you’ve got to own it and be comfortable with it.”
