In addition, he is expected to take over as Australia’s Test captain. Following Tim Paine’s resignation in the wake of the sexting scandal, a vacancy opened. A Cricket Australia panel recently interviewed the two. On The Big Sports Breakfast, during an appearance. Cummins will undoubtedly seek guidance from Smith, according to Clarke. If he is chosen as the Test team’s leader. He did warn Smith, though, to be careful since his activities would be scrutinized.

“He’s got to be careful Smithy because he copped some criticism for doing that when Tim Paine took over the captaincy as well. That he was standing in slip waving his hands, moving the field. If he is vice-captain or even if he is not, he has got to be very careful. There can only be one captain on the field. That is what leadership is about as well, owning that. If it is Pat Cummins, he can take advice and guidance but then it’s up to him to be making the decisions,” Michael Clarke said.
