With Aaron Finch insisting that there should be no reason why Steven Smith or David Warner cannot replace him as Australia’s ODI captain, the sandpaper-gate scars have long since healed.
The announcement of Finch’s retirement from the 50-over format has again put the leadership on the agenda, with Cricket Australia looking for another captain ahead of next year’s ODI World Cup.
Officials opted to hand some leadership responsibilities to Smith last summer when they made him deputy to Pat Cummins, the new test team captain. But from that moment, another long-term captaincy call was on the way.
At the press conference where his Test appointment was announced
At the press conference where his Test appointment was announced, Cummins clarified that he has no interest in leading Australia’s white-ball teams.Aaron Finch said on Saturday he believes Cummins could play several roles, but the fact that the pacemaker has missed 28 of 65 ODIs since the start of 2018 shows he is an impossible option. Will happen.

Besides him, Alex Carey will emerge as another candidate, who was previously vice-captain in the one-day team and stood in for Aaron Finch last year. However, the fact that he is not part of the T20 squad suggests that Australia will need three different captains when Finch eventually retires from that format.
Aaron Finch said he had no priorities but couldn’t see why the Cape Town 2018 saga should stand in Smith’s way, given that he still has several years to go. “He captained a Test match in Adelaide after Pat was out with Kovid.
Warner will present a separate issue for CA. Last month, Warner said it would be “great” to hold talks with the board.
He is an incredible tactical captain. The boys loved to play downstairs. Yes absolutely. He can project them not only as a player but also as a coach to help them go and help the next generation of players.”
