Sydney, November 22 : , Former Australian cricketer Michael Clarke believes that it is the right time for Pat Cummins, pacer of the Test sideline team.Despite his inexperience as a leader.
Clarke said that Cummins can be assisted by the senior members of the team in his transition to captaincy. After Tim Paine’s resignation due to an off-field incident, Cummins has emerged as the favourite to be Australia’s Ashes captain.
Several former Australian players spoke out in support of Cummins’ promotion from vice-captain into captain.Clarke has now joined the ranks.
It might have been different if we had three to five years experience.He is the perfect time because of his seniority within the team.They can.Steve Smith, David Warner and Nathan Lyon.Mitchell Starc and Josh Hazlewood.They have all played Test cricket.
Clarke stated that they can help him with or without the C/VC beside his name on Sky Sports Radio’s Big Sports Breakfast.
Cricket Australia announced after Paine’s abrupt resignation that it had begun an accelerated selection process for the next Test captain.
As things stand now, Cricket Australia has not yet announced who the next Test captain will be for the Ashes’ first Test in Brisbane on December 8.
Clarke has supported Cummins’ appointment as skipper from 2018, and he believes that it is important to observe how Cummins interacts with on-field activities.
You have to give him the time to do this job.He hasn’t been a captain for 10 years or played state cricket.Sometimes you see the best in someone, and I believe he does.He can read the game.He is a captain of cricket.The field tactics.His communication with his players.He sets up the field for bowling.
