Shane Warne said – The right time has come to give the captaincy of Australia to Pat Cummins

Australia Test Captain debate: With just two weeks left for the start of the Ashes series, the Australia team is yet to choose its new Test captain. This has become a big challenging task for Cricket Australia after Tim Paine abruptly quit the captaincy. In such a situation, former Australia spinner Shane Warne has carried the name of Pat Cummins. Warne has said that this is the right time for him to take charge of the Test.

Shane Warne has said that Pat Cummins is the right choice to replace Tim Paine. Warne also expressed grief over Tim Paine’s sudden departure from the captaincy. He said, ‘It was sad to see the way Tim had to give up the captaincy. I can understand what situation they must be going through. A player is also a human being and he can make mistakes.

Pat Cummins named as front-runner for Test captaincy
Australia has many players to take over the command of the Test team, but the consent of most of the former players seems to be made in the name of Pat Cummins. Former Australia captain Steve Waugh had said earlier this month that the time has come for a bowler to be given the captaincy of the Test team. He had told Pat Cummins his first choice. In May this year, spinner Brad Hodge also named Pat Cummins as the most deserving candidate for Test captaincy.

After 65 years, the fast bowler will become the captain of Australia!
28-year-old fast bowler Pat Cummins is the number one bowler in the ICC Test rankings. He has played 34 Test matches so far and has taken 164 wickets. He is at the forefront of the race for Test captaincy. If this happens, then after 65 years the captaincy of the Australia Test team will come to a fast bowler. Earlier in 1956, fast bowler Ray Lindwalls was made captain for a Test on India tour. After him, no fast bowler has got the command of Australia Test team.
