New Captain To Lead Australia’s T20 Team Against Pakistan Amid Absence Of Test Stars

By IANS News October 28, 2024 • 09:28 AM View: 1162

Cricket Australia Board: Australia’s T20 lineup will have a new face at the helm when they take on Pakistan next month, as several Test regulars prepare for their Border-Gavaskar Trophy series against India.

With a clash of schedules, Australian cricket has opted for fresh leadership in the T20 series, leaving the door open for Josh Inglis, Adam Zampa, or Matt Short to lead the squad in place of Mitchell Marsh, who remains unavailable for the series.

The absence of Australia's Test stars—including Marsh, Pat Cummins, Josh Hazlewood, Mitchell Starc, and Travis Head—creates a unique opportunity for players to take on leadership roles and responsibilities in the T20 format.
