Throughout the course of three Test matches, he racked up 12 wickets with a 22.50 bowling average. With the help of his eighth five-wicket haul in the first innings of the third Test match in Lahore and three wickets in the second, Cummins enabled Australia to advance and take the series in Pakistan by a score of 1-0. After Aaron Finch retired from ODI cricket on November 17, 2022, Cummins led Australia for the first time in ODIs. Australia will be led by Cummins in the 4-Match Border-Gavaskaer Trophy beginning on February 9 in VCA Jamtha.
