James Anderson Backs Pat Cummins To Become Australia Test Skipper

James Anderson, the England bowler, has backed Pat Cummins to become Australia’s next Test captain. Tim Paine had resigned as captain of the team ahead of the much-anticipated Ashes series opener.

Highlights

• Pat Cummins has the backing of James Anderson to be Australia’s Test captain
• Cummins is the favorite to lead Australia in Test matches
• After a sexting incident, Tim Paine stepped down from the post

“More bowlers, in my opinion, should be captains. The only challenge then is trying to get time off – when you’re not on the field, you want to shut off, while as captain, you have to observe and participate in the game, so you can’t switch off as much “

James Anderson was reported in the Sydney Morning Herald as saying:

“Bowlers do think a lot about the game. We are thinking cricketers now. I think he’d be good at it. You can see the leads brilliantly in the team. He’s a leader of the bowling attack and you can see he’s got that ability, so why not give him a chance?

“There are lots of arguments why it would suit to have a bowler as captain, but it’s just not the done thing, is it? Captains like to look good at first slip and look like they’re making all the field-position changes and doing all the good stuff. But I’m all for it,” he added.

Paine resigned as Test captain in 2017 after disclosures of a sexting incident with a former Cricket Tasmania colleague according to cricket

Paine was reported by cricket as stating:

“At the time, I spoke with my wife and family, and I am grateful for their forgiveness and support. We assumed that the event was over and that I could return to focusing only on the team, as I had done for the previous three or four years “
