Acknowledging the strain on players amidst a busy home summer, Cummins expressed understanding, stating, "They're not at 100 percent." He highlighted the significance of these tours, providing opportunities for younger and less-experienced players who may not be part of the regular playing XI.

As Australia prepares for upcoming engagements, including Test series against Pakistan and the West Indies, Cummins emphasised the importance of these tours, despite the team's current struggles. The third T20I between India and Australia is scheduled for November 28, 2023, in Guwahati.
