Melbourne: Wicket-keeper batsman Matthew Wade could become the captain for next month’s ICC T20 World Cup at home if Australia’s regular captain Aaron Finch suffers an injury or continues his poor form. The Sydney Morning Herald reported this on Tuesday. Wade is currently not on Cricket Australia’s contracted list.

He was first told to lead the kangaroos when Finch missed a T20 match against India at the Sydney Cricket Ground in 2020, but his alleged disciplinary penalty was against him at the time. Wade’s name comes at a time when there is talk of another veteran cricketer, David Warner, who could fill the captain’s position on Australia’s One Day International team vacated by Finch’s recent retirement.

As Cricket Australia investigate Finch’s replacement after the T20 World Cup in October-November, Wade will be a prime candidate for the cue captain’s armband. This information is in the report. Chappell wrote in his book Not Out, “I never set this criterion for selecting a test team, and we shouldn’t start now. As the idea developed during the meeting, we can’t pick a bad team.

The report said Wade will get just AUS$350,000 for the 12 T20Is, including the recently concluded series against India. At the upcoming T20 World Cup at home, after a 1-2 loss in the three-game run against India, Wade said his team is very positive going into the mega event as the team has good batsmen.
