The Australian team’s captain for the Odi Series against India will be Steve Smith instead of Pat Cummins

According to Cricket Australia, Pat Cummins will stay at home and Steve Smith will lead the Australian team in the ODI series against India. During the first two Tests of the Border-Gavaskar Trophy match against India, Cummins had returned home to be with his ailing mother, who was receiving palliative care. Cummins’ mother sadly passed away a few days afterwards. In the third and fourth Tests against Australia, Steve Smith captained the Australian squad in place of the pacer. Commenting on the change, Australia’s head coach Andrew McDonald has stated that Smith will remain in charge of the team for the tour of India.

Pat won’t be returning since he is still with the situation at home, according to coach Andrew McDonald. “Pat and his family are in our thoughts as they deal with their loss,”

David Warner, who hasn’t played much ODI cricket lately, has resumed training in Ahmedabad and will rejoin the team after missing the last two Tests, according to McDonald. A successor has not yet been identified by Cricket Australia.

In the three-match ODI series that begins on March 17, Nathan Ellis, Cameron Green, Josh Inglis, and Mitchell Starc are anticipated to divide the pace-bowling duties among themselves.

The coach stated, “We’ve had a few chats about the balance of the team we want to play, and we’ve tried going in with a structure with eight hitters to bat a little bit deeper.

“There will therefore be a variety of combinations as we approach the World Cup. There are many all-around players in the roster, but can they all play for the same team? We must therefore respond to a couple of those queries.”
