Will CA bring Steve Smith back at the helm? Former Australia batsman Mark Waugh believes ‘there are only two choices’ – Smith and all-rounder Pat Cummins. “I think when Tim Paine finishes, which could be after the Ashes, I think there are only two choices: Pat Cummins and Steve Smith,” Waugh told Fox Cricket’s Road to the Ashes Podcast. Waugh, however, believes Cummins’ rapid rise in international cricket makes him ‘favourite’ to be the next Australian captain. But I’d say Pat Cummins is favourite to be captain, Steve Smith vice-captain,” he said.
