Josh Inglis to lead Australia in T20I series against Pakistan
Josh Inglis named interim T20I captain and will captain the third ODI against Pakistan.
Josh Inglis will lead Australia for the first time after being named skipper for the three-match T20I series against Pakistan on 14th November. Australia's selectors had announced the T20I squad last week without naming the captain for the T20I side.
The wicketkeeper-batter will also captain the team in the final ODI against Pakistan as regular captain Pat Cummins, along with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith, will miss the 50-over game in order to prepare for the Border-Gavaskar Trophy.
With this Captaincy announcement, the pacers Xavier Bartlett and Spencer Johnson, and wicketkeeper-batter Josh Philippe have been added to Australia's squad for the ODI against Pakistan in Perth with the senior players set to take a break.
Inglis played a crucial role in Australia’s successful ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup campaign in India last year and the recent retirement of keeper Matthew Wade means the 29-year-old is first choice behind the stumps in both white-ball formats.
Josh has led Australia A previously and will bring strong tactical nous and a positive approach to the role. Josh will also receive great support from Matt Short and Adam Zampa, along with senior players such as Glenn Maxwell and Marcus Stoinis."
Australia's T20I squad: Sean Abbott, Xavier Bartlett, Cooper Connolly, Tim David, Nathan Ellis, Jake Fraser-McGurk, Aaron Hardie, Josh Inglis (C & WK), Spencer Johnson, Glenn Maxwell, Matthew Short, Marcus Stoinis, Adam Zampa
