'Would Love To See Tim Paine Return To Cricket'

By IANS News December 09, 2021 • 12:14 PM View: 1513

Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley said on Thursday that he would love to see wicketkeeper-batter Tim Paine play cricket again. At the same time, Hockley insisted that it was Paines decision to step away from captaincy, which was supported by the board as well.

A tearful Paine stepped down as the Test captain, just three weeks away from the start of the Ashes at The Gabba after his lewd text exchanges with a former Cricket Tasmania employee from 2017 came into light. After a few days, his manager announced that he will be taking an indefinite mental health break from all forms of the game.
