Australia have named a new captain for the last four matches of their white-ball series against Pakistan.
The ODI series against Pakistan got underway on November 4 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, as the first ODI ended up being a low-scoring thriller. Australia restricted Pakistan to 203, before the visitors reduced them to 155-7. Thereafter, Australian captain Pat Cummins helped his side over the line in 33.3 overs, remaining not out on 32.
Josh Inglis named Australian captain for four white-ball games against Pakistan
The top scorer for Australia was wicketkeeper Josh Inglis, who struck 49 off 42 balls. He has now been named as Australia's captain for the third ODI, as well as the three-match T20I series to follow, against the same opposition.
Regular ODI captain Pat Cummins is set to miss the third ODI on November 10, along with Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Marnus Labuschagne and Steve Smith as they prepare for the upcoming Test series against India, which begins on November 22. Pace bowlers Spencer Johnson and Xavier Bartlett and keeper-batter Josh Phillipe also have been added to the ODI squad for the final match.
Australia had not named a captain for the T20I series, with regular skipper Mitchell Marsh excluded from the squad for paternity leave. Inglis will now take up the role.
