Former Australia captain Michael Clarke believes that the team management need to make quick decisions on who they see leading the teams across formats in the near future. If he’s not, he’s got to go now because you’ve got to give the new captain the opportunity in that format before an Ashes series. [If Paine goes to South Africa], he’s got to be a part of the Ashes series," Clarke said. If they decide to make the change, my opinion is Pat Cummins can captain all three formats,” he said. Whatever you throw at this Australian team and at Pat Cummins, he’s ready.
