‘Hypocrite’: Andrew Bogut blasts Pat Cummins for keeping energy sponsor money

Former NBA championship player Andrew Bogut has slammed Australian Test captain Pat Cummins as a “hypocrite” for keeping sponsorship money from an energy company which uses fossil fuels.

Cummins refuted claims that his opinion on environmental issues cost Cricket Australia a $40 million sponsorship deal with Alinta Energy.

Mr Bogut admitted that he had sponsors he did not agree with but said he never turned around and told people not to use the product due to its harm to the environment.

“Donate that money back, Cummins, then I will listen to you,” he said.
