Cricket Tasmania condemns ‘appalling’ treatment of Paine

The Hindu  

Cricket Tasmania chairman Andrew Gaggin condemned Cricket Australia’s “appalling” treatment of Tim Paine on Tuesday, saying he should never have been put in a position where he felt he had to resign as Australia Test captain. Paine stood down from the role last Friday after sexually explicit text messages he sent to a female former colleague at Cricket Tasmania in 2017 were leaked to the media. The treatment afforded to the Australian Test captain by Cricket Australia has been appalling, and the worst since Bill Lawry over 50 years ago.” Lawry was notoriously sacked as Australia captain and dropped from the team ahead of the final Test of the 1970-71 Ashes series, only discovering his fate when informed by reporters. “The Cricket Tasmania board reaffirmed its view that Paine should not have been put in a position where he felt the need to resign over an incident that was determined by an independent inquiry at the time to not be a breach of the code of conduct and was a consensual and private exchange that occurred between two mature adults and was not repeated.” Fast bowler Pat Cummins is favourite to replace Paine as Test captain ahead of the Ashes series, which starts in Brisbane on December 8.
