On 28 October 1940, Cumming enlisted in the Royal Australian Navy. During the war, he served aboard the Australian destroyers,, and the sloop . Cumming was one of only 24 survivors when Parramatta was torpedoed by the German submarine U-559 in the Mediterranean; abandoning ship and later being rescued by British destroyer .

Cumming, who hailed from the gold mining town of Coolgardie, continued his sporting career when he returned home and began putting in some good performances in first-grade cricket for Subiaco. In a match against Nedlands, he achieved a rare feat by taking five wickets in five balls. An ankle injury kept him off the football field in 1945 but by the end of the year had made it into the state cricket team, playing as a right-arm opening bowler and number 11 batsman.

He made his first-class debut for Western Australia in the 1945/46 season, against the Australian Services and claimed Keith Miller as his maiden wicket. In 1946 he had the greatest victory of his running career when he won the York Gift. The following summer, Cumming made two more first-class appearances, one for a Western Australia Combined XI, but both against the Marylebone Cricket Club. In 1947/48, Western Australia played in the Sheffield Shield for the first time and Cumming took part in all four of their fixtures. Despite it being their first attempt, Western Australia won the Shield, with Cumming contributing 13 wickets at 23.61 during the campaign. Nine of those wickets had come in the same match, against Victoria at the WACA Ground. He took a six wicket haul in the second innings, bowling four of the Victorians and having the other two caught.
