Australia Test and ODI captain Pat Cummins' wife, Becky, has shared a family photograph on social media after a video of the couple's heated argument went viral. She posted a picture of herself, Cummins and their daughter Edith, with the caption 'My loves' and also tagged her husband. The post came hours after the clip of the two, published by The Australian, showed them involved in an animated exchange outside their home in Sydney.
Cummins is under the scanner over the Sandpapergate scandal after his former teammate Usman Khawaja made new revelations in his autobiography Sabr. However, the nature of their argument hasn't been established.
Cummins and Becky have known each other for then a decade. Their first meeting was at a bar in Sydney's King's Cross in 2013, and the two got married in 2022. They are parents to two children, son Albie, born in October 2021, and daughter Edith, born in February 2025.
Earlier, Cummins mentioned that he would speak to media on Friday, November 13, at 9.30 am AEDT at Cricket NSW's headquarters in Sydney after allegations by Khawaja have reopened one of the darkest chapters in the history of Australian cricket.

"Happy to speak with any and all media about the events of this week. I've taken some time to try and better understand the long list and full extent of Uzzy's allegations so I can respond properly," Cummins wrote.
Khawaja's autobiography, Sabr, was released this week and the former opener claimed that all the players and members of the support staff were aware of the use of the sandpaper. However, only Steve Smith, David Warner and Cameron Bancroft were punished and held responsible for the ball-tampering in South Africa.
Khawaja's allegations have brought attention to the roles of Cummins, Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Nathan Lyon, who were part of the bowling group during the Proteas tour.
In 2021, the four bowlers had said that they were unaware that a foreign substance was used to alter the ball's condition during the Cape Town Test. Starc stuck to his earlier statement earlier this week.
Former Australia skipper Michael Clarke urged Cummins to address the media, saying his silence is not helping the current Test team.
Meanwhile, Australia T20I captain Mitchell Marsh refused to comment on the ongoing controversy.
