Wellington, March 3 (UNI) Cummins continues to put immense faith in the off-spinner’s ability to perform irrespective of his age. The 36-year-old Lyon was the chief destroyer in Australia's 172-run Test win over New Zealand in Wellington with a 10-wicket match haul while also top-scoring in the second innings with 41.
Cummins even said he would ‘give up the captaincy’ the day Lyon announced his retirement from international cricket.
"The only barrier really is his body, so if he looks after his body and makes sure he's right for 10 Test matches a year, or whatever it is, I'd absolutely love him to play until 2027," Cummins said in the post-match press conference after the victory on Sunday.
