Never-before-seen footage of Pat Cummins's incredible year with the Australia Test team is set to air latest this month after Amazon Prime released its trailer for the third season of The Test.

The three-part series will centre mostly around Australia's explosive tour of England, in which the tourists successfully defended the Ashes, albeit in rather controversial fashion.

Cummins and wicketkeeper Alex Carey made themselves public enemy No 1 following the stumping of Jonny Bairstow during the second Test match at Lord's in London.


The incident was major news in the United Kingdom and Australia, with British Prime Minister Rishi Sunak weighing in on the scandal, while English fans roundly booed Cummins and Carey for the remainder of the series.

The typically placid MCC was also enraged by the incident, with members coming to blows with Australia's David Warner as the team walked through the long room for lunch shortly after Bairstow's dismissal.

'The third season of The Test captures the gripping tussle between Australia and India at the World Test Championship Final, and the extraordinary behind-the-scenes drama of the 2023 Ashes in England,' said Richard Ostroff, head of broadcasting and production at Cricket Australia. 

'Cricket fans in Australia and across the world will ride all the emotions and tight contests, as our players battle it out on the biggest stages of all. This series will be the best yet.'

'Given how dramatic the World Test Championship Final and The Ashes in England were, this season promises to share the riveting moments that took place behind the scenes that have never been shown before,' said directors Adrian Brown and Sheldon Wynne.

'As well as the inspiring and emotional stories that show just how much this tour meant to our Australian men's cricket team.'

Captain Cummins said of the series, which will hit screens on May 24: 'Winning the World Test Championship, which began our UK tour, was a victory the whole squad was enormously proud of. 

'It was and still is a huge goal of ours. And as always, The Ashes brings with it plenty of controversy and defining moments. I am sure people from all walks will enjoy an exclusive look at what happens on and off field during these campaigns.'
