The 30-year-old fell into the water with an open backpack and his phone in his pocket, sheepishly wading out of the pool before discovering that Cummins had filmed the incident.
Former Test paceman Brett Lee commented: “His phone will be ringing wet.”
Australian teammate Glenn Maxwell replied: “Phone can last 29 mins in the water kez … you’re sweet.”
The Australian Test squad arrived in Karachi on Wednesday ahead of the second Test of the Benaud-Qadir Trophy against Pakistan, which gets underway on Saturday.
Carey made his Test debut for Australia in December, scoring 202 runs and claiming 23 catches in six matches since.
The South Australian failed to take a catch or make a stumping during the first Test in Rawalpindi, becoming the first Australian wicketkeeper to achieve the unwanted feat in 13 years.
Carey dropped a tough chance off Nathan Lyon’s bowling late in the first innings at Rawalpindi, gifting Pakistan wicketkeeper Mohammad Rizwan an extra life on 0.
The second Test at Karachi’s National Stadium is scheduled to commence at 4pm AEDT on Saturday.
