Days after Tim Paine stepped down from his Test captaincy role of Australia, the news has now come that his brother-in-law Shannon Tubb, is being investigated for sexting the same woman the former skipper was involved with. Amid all this, Paine's brother-in-law, who played Sheffield Shield for Tasmania, was reportedly asked to leave Cricket Tasmania (CT). "In August, an NT News article suggested Tubb was involved with the Cricket Australia XI in a development role," Fox Sports said. Cricket Tasmania said, "Cricket Tasmania won't be responding to any (of) the questions." Test vice-captain Pat Cummins looks set to become the first pace bowler to lead the Test side in 65 years.
