Marsh One Day Cup: Queensland's cricket team will see leg-spinner Mitch Swepson don the captain’s armband for the first time, as he leads the Bulls in their opening two matches of the Marsh One Day Cup this week.

Swepson took over the reins from Marnus Labuschagne, who is currently on national duty with the Australian ODI squad in England.

The 30-year-old has been a key figure in Queensland's leadership circles in recent seasons, as well as playing a prominent role for the Brisbane Heat in the Big Bash League. He also led his Queensland Premier Cricket side, Sandgate-Redcliffe, to the final of the T20 Max competition earlier this month.
