Australia’s cricket team captain Pat Cummins has opened up about his struggles with burnout, revealing that he has been struggling with the issue for some time. In an interview with a leading Australian news channel, Cummins said that he has been dealing with the pressures of professional cricket for several years, and that it has taken a toll on him both physically and mentally.Cummins, who was recently appointed as Australia’s captain for all three formats of the game, said that he had been feeling worn out and tired for some time, and that he had decided to take a break from cricket to address these issues.
    I’ve been dealing with burnout for a while now, Cummins said. It’s not something that happened overnight. It’s been building up for a few years, and I’ve just reached a point where I need to take a break and focus on my mental and physical health.
    Cummins also spoke about the challenges of being a professional athlete in the modern era, where players are expected to perform at the highest level across multiple formats of the game. He said that the demands of international cricket can be overwhelming, and that it’s important for players to take breaks when they need to.
    I think it’s really important for players to recognize when they’re feeling burnt out and to take the time they need to recover, he said. Cricket is a demanding sport, and it’s important to prioritize your health and well-being over everything else.
    Cummins’ decision to take a break from cricket comes ahead of Australia’s upcoming tour of the West Indies and Bangladesh, which is set to take place in July and August. While he will be missed on the field, many fans and fellow players have expressed their support for his decision, and have praised him for speaking openly about his struggles with burnout.
