Australia ODI Captain: Steve Smith and David Warner emerge favourites, but who will lead?

India TV News  

After the sudden retirement of Aaron Finch, Cricket Australia is now in search of the next captain to lead the side. While there are no clear words on who will take over the reins, the early favourites for the spot come in the form of David Warner and former skipper Steve Smith. Speaking on his successor as the next captain, Finch said Warner and Smith should be in contention despite their involvement in the Sandpapergate scandal in the Cape Town Test of 2018. Steve Smith has a proud record of leading the Australian side in the Test format while also leading the team in the limited-overs format before the controversy erupted in 2018. Smith was recalled to lead the side in the Ashes last year after Tim Paine opted to quit the captaincy while new captain Pat Cummins was missing due to Covid-19.
