It needs to be noted that Pat Cummins has never been the skipper of the T20I side. Mitchell Marsh is the current captain. However, he has had form and fitness issues. Hence, Australia must be prepared for the future. Here, we take a look at the list of three players Australia must groom as the next T20I skipper.
The management does have quite a few options. They can also be flexible because the T20 World Cup now happens every two years, and there is a chance to win a trophy often.
1) Travis Head
Travis Head is 31 years of age right now. He has had a decent amount of experience as a skipper. Considering he will open the innings for Australia for a long time, he can be a fine choice for the leadership. He is also someone who performs well under pressure and hence, he could be a choice.
2) Josh Inglis is one of the players Australia must groom as the next T20I skipper
Josh Inglis can be a surprising choice in this regard. With the bat, he is at his peak right now. He might now bat at the important No.3 role apart from keeping wickets. Therefore, he can be a tempting option for the side. He has already led the side 3 times till now.
3) Cameron Green
Green will be seen as an all-format captaincy choice for Australia. To groom him for the role, the management could consider giving him the T20 captaincy. Of course, before that, the management must find a permanent role for him in the side, especially after his injury return.
