Australia have employed an interesting strategy for the upcoming T20 World Cup. They haven't named Pat Cummins the captain of the team despite the fact that they won the ODI World Cup last year under him. Moreover, Cummins also led Australia to the World Test Championship victory against India in June 2023. Looking at his records in ICC events, the fast bowler should've been appointed the skipper for the upcoming mega event in the shortest format. source https://www.indiatvnews.com/sports/cricket/just-going-off-pat-cummins-reacts-to-not-leading-australia-in-t20is-2024-02-23-918282
