Australia captain Pat Cummins has opened up about the recent death of his mother Maria in an interview with Manchester United legend Rio Ferdinand.
Maria passed away in March after a battle with breast cancer and Cummins admitted it was "still pretty raw at the moment" as he spoke openly about her passing with Ferdinand, whose mother Janice St Fort and first wife Rebecca Ellison also died after battles with cancer.
"I found talking to people and talking openly in public forums and public spaces [were] really cathartic for myself, it really helped me," Ferdinand said before asking Cummins how he was doing. "It is still pretty raw at the moment but the last few months I have been lucky enough to spend loads of time with Mum and us kids and Dad and just sharing all those memories," the fast bowler replied.
