Interestingly, the name of the group in which Morrison added Cummins had a name exactly similar to the one in which the latter was already in with his fellow Aussie team members.

Subsequently, Cummins also revealed that he mistakenly sent a message to the former PM that was actually for the teammates in the national side of Australia.

“I just opened up my phone then, and I’ve been added to a WhatsApp group called ‘Legends’ with Scott Morrison and Justin Langer in it. We have a WhatsApp group, Hoff, Starcy and I called legends. Hope I don’t send anything to the wrong group,” said Cummins in the first episode of the Amazon documentary, The Test’s second season.

Notably, Cricket Australia appointed the Sydney-based bowling prodigy as the Test skipper of Australia almost 15 months back in November 2021. He was made captain after the former skipper Tim Paine was forced to quit captaincy following a texting scandal that went viral over social media.

The Aussies have performed brilliantly during the home assignments under the captaincy of Pat Cummins as they have ended up as the winning side four times and a draw in five Test matches.

Cummins & co. will now be eyeing the upcoming tour of India where they will lock horns with the hosts in the full-fledged four-match Test series. Both teams will play the first Test on the 9^th of February at the Vidarbha Cricket Association Stadium in Nagpur.
