CA Announce Fast Bowler Pat Cummins As Australia's Test Captain

By IANS News November 26, 2021 • 10:05 AM View: 1913

Fast bowler Pat Cummins was on Friday confirmed as Australia's new men's Test captain, a week after Tim Paine stepped down voluntarily following the sexting scandal that blew in the face of the wicketkeeper-batter who was leading the side since 2018.

Batting stalwart and former captain Steve Smith has been appointed Cummins' deputy ahead of the Ashes series beginning at the Gabba in Brisbane on December 8. Cummins was earlier serving in the role of vice-captain under Paine.
