Captaincy Will Be A 'Huge Challenge' For Pat Cummins, Believes Jason Gillespie

By IANS News December 05, 2021 • 19:45 PM View: 1553

Former Australia pacer Jason Gillespie said on Sunday that Test captaincy will be a huge challenge for pacer Pat Cummins. He added that Cummins will depend on some senior players during his captaincy, which is the reason why Steve Smith was made the vice-captain.

Cummins was made the 47th captain of Australia's Test side after Tim Paine stepped down due to an off-field scandal. Smith, who completed his leadership ban after the Sandpaper saga of 2018, was made his deputy ahead of the Ashes.
