Pat Cummins
“I’d say Pat Cummins will take over and the selectors would be seriously thinking about which wicket-keeper to pick for the first Test. I like Paine as a cricketer, I was a selector when I picked him. Now they will be looking into someone like an Alex Carey for the role of the wicket-keeper,” Waugh said.
Lastly, Tim Paine has made himself available for selection in the Ashes. Despite having resigned as captain of the team. Apart from Alex Carey, Josh Inglis has also been touted. Also, take over from Paine in the near future.
