VIDEO: Tim Paine Quits As Australia Test Captain Over Explicit Text Exchange

By AFP News November 19, 2021 • 10:23 AM View: 2108

Tim Paine abruptly quit as Australian Test cricket captain Friday over an explicit "private text exchange" with a female colleague -- a bombshell announcement just weeks before the Ashes series begins against arch-rivals England.

"Today, I'm announcing my decision to stand down as the captain of the Australian men's Test team," said an emotional Paine, failing to hold back tears as he recounted a years-old scandal which is only now coming to light.
