- Cricket Australia got deputy captain at T20 World Cup
- Non-contract player made substitute captain
- The T20 World Cup kicks off in Australia next month
T20 World Cup Matthew Wade: Australia will take the field with not one but two captains at the T20 World Cup starting next month. Batsman and wicket-keeper Matthew Wade will be seen on the pitch as deputy captain alongside regular team captain Aaron Finch. That is, if for some reason Finch could not go out on the field with the team in a game, then the command of the team would be in the hands of Wade.
Wade becomes backup captain without contract
Let us tell you that Matthew Wade is playing for Australia without any contract. But you will be surprised to know that despite being in this position, Cricket Australia (CA) has also promoted him. If Finch does not play in any of the World Cup matches due to injury or any other reason, Wade will captain Australia in his place. The Australian board named him deputy captain without contract negotiations. Matthew Wade has previously captained the team in a T20 match against India in Finch’s absence at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
wade to ca did not give a contract
Shockingly, earlier this year, Cricket Australia had denied Matthew Wade any contract. That is, now after playing 12 T20 International matches, he will get an incremental contract of $3,50,000. From the 3-match T20 series against India to the World Cup semi-final, Australia is scheduled to play 13 T20 matches.
Benefits of living without a contract
Matthew Wade may feel more flexible in his career without a contract. As well as playing for Australia, he can also take part in all the T20 leagues that are played around the world.
Wade reaches the crease to bat at number seven in almost every T20 cricket match. In such a situation, the indication of his substitute captain is clear, in the T20 World Cup, the Australian team will enter the field with the formula of 7 batters and 4 pitchers.
