Australia has announced a new captain for the one-day international format after Aaron Finch stepped down from captaincy a few months ago.
Pat Cummins will be leading the Baggy Green side in the fifty overs format and he is already the captain of the red ball format of the Australian cricket team.
The 29-year-old fast bowler is now the 27th player to lead Australia in the one-day international format and he is the only fast bowler to be the skipper of the fifty-over and test format captain in the world currently.
Enjoyed a lot under Aaron Finch- Pat Cummins
Pat Cummins had said that he has enjoyed playing under Aaron Finch and he has learned a lot from Finchy. He even said that Australia is lucky to have a captain like Aaron Finch, who has so much experience leading a team.
Mitchell Marsh, Steve Smith, Glenn Maxwell and Alex Carey were the other contenders for this huge responsible post. But Cricket Australia (CA) gave another opportunity to Pat Cummins to showcase his leadership skills in the fifty overs format as well.
David Warner wasn’t considered at all because he is still serving the ban and that is why he cannot be given the responsibilities of any leadership role by the Australia Cricket Board.
\Warner, Smith and Bancroft were involved in the sandpaper gate saga in 2018 on the South African tour.
Cummins can’t play all the games of the fifty overs format
The Australian Cricket Board has given the responsibility of the ODI captaincy to Cummins. But still, Cummins said that he will not play all the games of the fifty-overs format despite being the new skipper.
This is because Australia already plays too much cricket across the formats and Cummins is a key player for Australia in all three forms of the game.
So, if this happens, then Cricket Australia might have to lift the leadership ban on an opening batter, David Warner, or make some other player like Glenn Maxwell or Alex Carey the leader for that game or series.
Cricket Australia said Cummins is a great option as the ODI captain, especially with the 2023 fifty-over World Cup in India next year.
