Josh Inglis To Lead Australia In White-ball Fixtures Against Pakistan
Australia T20I: Australia wicketkeeper-batter Josh Inglis will lead the team in the third ODI and the subsequent T20I series against Pakistan as regular skipper Pat Cummins along with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne, and Steve Smith, will miss the final 50-over game as they prioritise their preparations for the upcoming Border-Gavaskar Trophy series.
Inglis will take over the captaincy in both the 50-over and 20-over formats for the first time with Cummins ramping up his Test preparation and incumbent T20I skipper Mitchell Marsh on paternity leave.
"Josh is an integral member of the ODI and T20I teams and a highly respected player on and off the field. He has led Australia A previously and will bring strong tactical nous and a positive approach to the role," said selection chair George Bailey in a statement.
