No Pat Cummins in T20 World Cup, this star player will become the captain of Australia, the coach revealed the name

The captaincy of the Australian team in the ICC T20 World Cup 2024 may not be handed over to Pat Cummins but to Mitchell Marsh. This has been supported by the team's head coach Andrew McDonald himself. The team coach has put forward the name of Mitchell Marsh. In such a situation, it would not be wrong to say that Cricket Australia may soon announce Marsh's name as captain.

After the 2022 T20 World Cup, Finch announced his retirement. Marsh has since assumed an unofficial leadership role in T20. George Bailey is the chair of the selection panel, which includes Andrew Macdonald. He will suggest to the Cricket Australia Board that Marsh, who is 32 years old, be given official leadership duties. After Aaron Finch retires, there is still uncertainty regarding the full-time captain position.

According to Andrew McDonald, we are content and at ease with the way he has been able to collaborate with that Twenty20 team. He appears to be the most suitable captain for the T20 World Cup. Under Marsh's leadership, Australia also prevailed in the Twenty20 series against the West Indies and New Zealand. Marsh's comeback as an international player began in the 20-over game when he led his team to the 2021 World Cup trophy.

He was the player of the match in the final against New Zealand in Dubai after scoring an unbeaten 77 runs off 50 balls. Australia achieved the victory target of 173 runs with more than an over to spare. In 54 T20 matches, Marsh has scored 1,432 runs at an average of 22.76 with 17 wickets and nine half-centuries.
