Matthew Short Puts His Hand Up To Captain Australia In T20Is Against Pakistan
Though Pat Cummins: Ahead of Australia playing three ODIs against Pakistan at home, right-handed batter Matthew Short has put his hand up to captain the side in the T20I leg of the white-ball series.
Though Pat Cummins will lead Australia in ODIs against Pakistan, there’s no word yet on who could take over the leadership mantle for the T20I series, as Mitchell Marsh and Travis Head are on paternity leave. Short has prior leadership experience via being the leader of his BBL side Adelaide Strikers.
“Yeah, definitely (I’m interested). I’ve done it for a little bit now with the Adelaide Strikers and really enjoyed being involved in making some of the calls. The communication (from selectors) at the moment is just (within) a bit of a leadership group – they still haven’t made up their mind, but if it was me they wanted, I’d definitely put my hand up for it,” said Short to reporters.
