All-rounder Mitchell Marsh is not interested in becoming the ODI captain of the Australian team. He has declared himself out of this race. Now Australia have the biggest contender for their new ODI captain, David Warner. Perhaps after the T20 World Cup 2022, Cricket Australia will announce their new captain.
Aaron Finch captained Australia in both limited overs cricket formats (ODI and T20). Last month he retired from ODI cricket. In such a situation, Australia currently does not have any ODI captains. However, Finch will continue to lead Australia in T20 Internationals. By the way, it is said that after the upcoming World Cup, Finch may also say goodbye to T20 cricket. If this happens, Australia will have to find new captains for both of these formats of cue ball cricket.
While speaking on this topic, Mitchell Marsh said: ‘To be honest, I’m out of this race. At the moment, I have to keep my body in shape for this World Cup. Cricket Australia has to make the decision of the ODI captain of Australia and he will make a decision on it after this World Cup. I never thought anything about it.
Ever since Aaron Finch’s retirement from ODI cricket, it has been a matter of discussion who will be the next ODI captain of the Australian team. David Warner is said to be at the forefront of this race. However, he was banned for life from the captaincy after the ball-handling incident on the South African tour in 2018. But former Australian cricketers constantly say that Warner should definitely get a second chance. Aaron Finch has also expanded on the Warner name.
