Melbourne, December 25, : , The Australian cricket team was in danger of facing a bigger COVID crisis.But captain Pat Cummins revealed that it was sheer luck that kept two additional members from becoming isolated before the Adelaide Oval Test.Cummins pulled out of the Adelaide Test side at the last minute.He was close to a COVID-19-positive person and was dropped.
The pace bowler, however, revealed that his teammates Mitch Starc (pace bowler) and Nathan Lyon also ate outside in the same restaurant.
Cummins and his friend had eaten at Adelaide’s steakhouse the night prior to the Test.
A patron at the table next to him later became positive for the virus.
According to thewest.com.
au, Starc and Lyon were supposed be sitting next to Cummins.However, Cummins hadn’t checked his smartphone for over 40 minutes, so they lost their patience and ate separately.
Cummins could have checked his phone sooner and all three test subjects would have missed it.
Cummins described Lyon and Starc as “they walked in anger — they kicked up some stink and sat back (separately)”.
Cummins revealed his anger at being told he was considered a close friend and would be missing the Test.
“I was really mad — I’m not sure who it was.It was not my fault.Cummins stated that once it was obvious, the state rules were to be followed.
We knew that it (viruses) would pop up at one point in the series.It wasn’t something I expected or expected.
It is important to follow the protocol, however, there was very little COVID.I did not factor this in until the guy next me said that he was positive.Nobody did anything wrong.Cummins said that the poor man flew to Adelaide just to enjoy some cricket.
It’s only one player.The news is slightly more because COVID and Captain are involved, but it doesn’t mean the end of world.
