“So much respect”: Pat Cummins mother illness receiving Maria West Side Story tribute rated highly by David Warner

Pat Cummins’ mother Maria Cummins is seriously ill and under palliative care at the moment. She has been receiving good messages and wishes from all around the fraternity, and recently England’s ‘Barmy Army’ also dedicated a song to her. Australian opener David Warner has applauded their effort on Twitter.

In the ongoing 2nd Test between New Zealand and England, Barm Army sang the song ‘Maria’ from Jerome Robbins and Robert Wise’s ‘West Side Story’ (1961) to wish Maria well in these tough times. Pat Cummins also recently revealed that her mother also liked the efforts by them.

To take care of her mother, Cummins is in Australia at the moment, and he will be missing the 3rd Test against India in Indore as well. Warner is also in Australia as he is out of the series due to an injury.
