Finch wants Warner as Australia’s next captain

Australia captain Aaron Finch suddenly retired from ODI. With his retirement, speculation is going on about who will be the next captain of Team Australia. But Finch wants his teammate as captain. He is none other than David Warner.

Finch said, “Warner is a cricketer who has had the opportunity to lead a few matches. Warner is great as a captain. I have rarely seen a strong captain like him. I think everyone would love to play under his leadership.”

In 2017, Warner was banned for his involvement in a ball-tampering incident in Cape Town, South Africa. Even if he returns to the team, he will not be able to be the captain. Finch also spoke about this. He also said that he would be happy if Australia change its decision.

In this context, Finch said,

“I am not 100 percent sure about the position of Cricket Australia. But I will be happy if they change their mind. Warner is a cricketer who can handle the responsibility of leadership with ease. Truly he is competent.”

Next T20 World Cup will be held in Australia. And at this time coach Andrew Macdonald is not willing to think about ODI captaincy. He said that he will think about the ODI after the World Cup as he is under pressure about the World Cup.

Like Warner, Smith was also banned for ball tampering. However, he led the team as acting captain after overcoming the ban. Meanwhile, David Warner has said that he is ready to take over the captaincy if the board gives him the responsibility. On the other hand, the Australian media believes that Steven Smith or Pat Cummins can be the new Aussie captain.
