Cummins also said that cricketers should individually be aware of their workload and what they are signing up for. Cummins shared as quoted by Cricket Australia, "I've signed up for the auction at this stage. I'll probably have a bit more of a think about it before that auction date. At this stage, I plan to do the IPL. I have no advice for anyone else. I think you've got to be aware of (workloads), it could be a lot of time on the road, some people manage that better than others".

He further added, "You have to know what you're signing up for. It could be a long-ish winter but the last couple of winters have been quite at home. The traditional tours are still a little way away, it will be bubbles for a little bit longer. Everyone has to be aware of it."
