Australia’s T20 title defense ended in disappointment after the defending champions failed to make it to the Knockouts from the Super 12 stage of the T20 World Cup 2022.
Former Australia Legend Ricky Ponting suggested Glenn Maxwell as the New Captain for Australia T20I Team as Aaron Finch T20I future is uncertain.
“He’s obviously done a fair bit in IPL and in BBL. I think that’s probably the logical one. I couldn’t see Pat Cummins wanting to take it on. I was a little bit surprised he took the one-day stuff on, to be honest as well just with workload and stuff and how many games he potentially misses, so maybe you look to Maxy. I saw Mitchell Marsh last week had taken his name out. He said he wanted to play and not have to worry about it. I think in the current group, it probably would be Maxy,” Ponting was quoted by Fox Sports.
Meanwhile, Ponting’s teammate and former Australian pacer Stuart Clark put forward Cameron Green’s name for the leadership role. He wants that Australia should think about long term plans.
“There’s no one young in that team. Other than Cameron Green everyone else is over the age of 29. It’s not an easy fix to click your fingers and make it all simple. I think there’s a little bit of soul searching for Cricket Australia in that format. Maybe Cameron Green is the man,” Clark said on BBC’s Test Match Special.
