Ricky Ponting Has One 'Concern' About Pat Cummins Becoming Australia's Test Captain
Australian cricket legend Ricky Ponting has endorsed pace bowler Pat Cummins' appointment as captain of the Test side and said that batting stalwart Steve Smith being made his deputy could be a game-changer for the hosts ahead of the Ashes, given his experience.
Smith had been leading Australia before the ball-tampering episode -- also called the Sandpaper-gate scandal -- in 2018 during the South Africa series led him, his then-deputy David Warner and team-mate Cameron Bancroft to resign. The trio was also banned from all forms of cricket for varying periods not exceeding one year, and a decision was taken to not appoint Smith in a leadership role for two years.
