Pat is captain of the Australian Men's Test and One Day International cricket teams and has been pivotal in re-shaping team culture and leading them to global success across all formats of the game. Pat has received many global cricketing accolades over the years, most recently being named the 2023 ICC Cricketer of the Year. A successful elite sporting career hasn't diminished Cummins' interests off the field. Pat has a keen interest in business and aligns himself with organisations dedicated to creating lasting impact. Pat appreciates he has a responsibility to use his position and influence for the good of others and is committed to supporting initiatives involving education, sustainability, First Nations communities and health. Pat lives in Sydney with his wife, Becky, and son, Albie. Dave Hartley is an award-winning author and school principal who has worked as an executive leader in the Queensland Department of Education's Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander division. A Barunggam man, Dave is also an incredibly talented First Nations artist, and plays the didgeridoo. (He was one of the didgeridoo performers at the opening ceremony of the Commonwealth Games in 2018). He is also sports obsessed! He got his start co-writing an Aboriginal Rugby League superhero story with League player Scott Prince, and co-wrote the award winning Strangers On Country. Otherwise, he and his wife have two grown-up girls, a giant groodle, a sassy spoodle and live on the Gold Coast.
