“We are deeply saddened at the passing of Maria Cummins overnight,” read a Cricket Australia statement.
“On behalf of Australian Cricket, we extend our heartfelt condolences to Pat, the Cummins family and their friends.
“The Australian men’s team will today wear black armbands as a mark of respect.”
Pat Cummins led the side during the first two Tests against India before flying home to Sydney to care for his mother while she was in palliative care.
