Cummins was granted a Cricket Australia contract in June 2011, and in October 2011 he played two Twenty20 matches for Australia against South Africa. On the basis of his performances in these games (he took 3/25 and 2/26), Cummins was selected for Test squad to play South Africa, in what was described as a "meteoric rise".

Cummins made his Test debut at the The Wanderers ground in Johannesburg in November 2011, in what was only his fourth career first-class match, becoming Australia's youngest test cricketer since Ian Craig in 1953. Cummins took 1/38 and 6/79, becoming the second youngest test cricketer (behind Enamul Haque Jr) to take six wickets in an innings. He then scored 13 runs in the second innings, including a four to win the match, and was presented with the Man of the Match award.

Cummins was selected in Australia's provisional team for the ICC Under-19 World Cup to be held in Queensland in August 2012.

Cummins' early cricketing career has been plagued with injury, primarily a stress fracture in his back. Cummins played his first game since October 2012 for the Northern Ireland Cricket Academy on 19 June 2013.

Cummins was a late call-up for 2015 Ashes squad after the retirement of Ryan Harris, but he was not selected for a Test during the series. He was part of ODI and T20I series in the same tour.
