Inglis will become Australia's 30th ODI captain when the side plays Pakistan in Perth, as regular skipper Pat Cummins goes to prepare for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy. With Mitchell Marsh on paternity leave, he will also become the 14th player to lead Australia in T20Is when they play against Pakistan in Brisbane, Sydney and Hobart from November 14-18.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cIt is thrilling, I'm really looking forward to it. I\u2019m obviously stepping in for Mitch and Pat who are out - Mitch is on paternity leave and Pat's preparing for the Test summer. I\u2019m really looking forward to the challenge and to do it in Perth is going to be really nice.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cGeorge Bailey called me last week and I was a bit shocked at the start, but obviously we've got quite a few guys in and out preparing for different things. But to get that call and to get the nod is really nice. I'm really privileged and honoured to be in this position,\u201d said Inglis to SEN Radio.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Inglis previously captained the Prime Minister's XI in a drawn match against West Indies in 2022 when he led and he now hopes to bring an innovative and attacking approach with his leadership skills for Australia in the international arena.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\u201cI enjoy it when it all goes well, but when it doesn't it's not so fun. But I think as a wicketkeeper, you're in a really good position to sort of see the game and watch how it unfolds.\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n
