'Inspirational' Pat Cummins Is The Right Choice As Australia Captain: Ian Chappell

By IANS News December 05, 2021 • 15:05 PM View: 1928

Former Australia captain Ian Chappell said on Sunday that pacer Pat Cummins is the right choice as the new Test captain. At the same time, he questioned why there was a difference in the leadership punishments which were given to Steve Smith and David Warner by Cricket Australia (CA) after the 2018 Sandpaper scandal in Cape Town.

After wicketkeeper-batter Tim Paine sensationally stepped down from the post due to explicit text exchanges with a former Cricket Tasmania employee made public, Cummins was then appointed to captain Australia in Test cricket.
