Australian Test captain Pat Cummins<\/a> has given a slight insight into the drama behind a post-Ashes<\/a> beer with England, after revelations the players and coaches knocked on England's dressing room door a number of times but received no invite<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Conflicting reports came out after the event with England captain Ben Stokes using his social media to say the players met up in a night club after the game.<\/p>\n

Aussie batsman Travis Head<\/a> then revealed his side got "a bit fed up" of waiting around. \ufeff<\/p>\n

"It's been played up a little bit," Head told the Willow Talk<\/em> podcast.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

"Post-match, I think we hung around for a little bit. (England) had a couple of retirements, and, I think, a few staff that (were) going.<\/p>\n

"We sort of knocked a couple of times and got told two minutes, which turned into an hour, and the boys got a bit fed up.<\/p>\n

"But yeah, a few of the boys met up with them afterwards, and I've been in contact with a couple of the guys that I was close with about the differences in the timings. A bit disappointing, but I don't think it was by design."<\/p>\n

Speaking at the SCG for Cricket Australia's partnership announcement with HCLTech, Cummins confirmed the traditional post-series changeroom beer did not occur.<\/p>\n

"It would have been nice to have a beer with them," Cummins said.<\/p>\n

"After a great Ashes, it would have been good. Not to be. I think they had a fair few meetings on in their change room and we hung around for a bit. But we had a pretty good night."\ufeff<\/p>\n

Despite Stokes' suggestion that both parties decided to meet up in the night club, Head said it wasn't planned. \ufeff<\/p>\n

\"Australia's<\/p>\n

"We didn't go there together… It's just by design again that both teams found themselves at the same place," Head said.<\/p>\n

"I think it was a Monday night, but there are not many places to go on a Monday night in London, so we found ourselves at the same place… shared one or two vodka Red Bulls together and then off to the flight."<\/p>\n

\ufeffThroughout the press conference on Tuesday morning, Cummins also had an awkward exchange when a reporter asked if he'd like to stay Test captain for the summer.<\/p>\n

"For this summer?," he replied\ufeff before pausing with a smile and simply saying "yeah".<\/p>\n

The Aussie ODI skipper also confirmed his wrist injury is on the mend and said he'll play a part in the back end of the side's upcoming series in South Africa. \ufeff<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
