Cummins expresses desire to stay on as ODI captain. After guiding Aus to WC semis, he's made strong case for extension. Will opt into IPL 2024 auction to prepare for T20 WC. Marsh expected to lead Aus in T20 WC.
Pat Cummins expressed his desire to stay on as Australia's ODI captain following the ongoing World Cup.
Cummins, who was initially handed reins of the Test team, was made ODI skipper following the sudden retirement of Aaron Finch last year.
Having guided Australia to the World Cup semifinals on the back of seven straight wins after opening two losses, Cummins has made a strong case for captaincy extension.
Asked about his future as ODI captain, the 30-year-old said: "Potentially, yeah. We'll chat about it. We've been pretty open, me and Andrew (head coach) and George (selector) around different times in the year you're going to have different priorities.
"This is a bit of a one-off year where there's three or four big off-season events. After here the focus shifts back to Test cricket for a fair while. Probably like we've done in the past, at times white-ball cricket is going to have to shift (as a priority) so we fully focus on Test cricket. There's no end date in sight.
"I feel like I've been managed really well and looked after in a really, really busy year where you don't really want to give up any cricket," said the fast bowler.
Cummins, who had opted out of the IPL 2023 to focus on his international commitments, will put his name in the auction ahead of the 2024 edition.
