Pat Cummins is right choice to take over captaincy in all three formats for Australia: Michael Clarke

Former Australia captain Michael Clarke has backed 'silent assassin' Pat Cummins to be the next all formats captain of the national side. According to Clarke, Cummins looks ready to regularly play all formats.

Michael Clarke believes that 'silent assassin' Pat Cummins is the answer to Australia's next leader question. According to the former captain, Cummins will be the best choice for the captaincy role across all formats for Australia when the right time comes. "Just because Cummins isn't out there saying I should be the next captain and I'm ready... it doesn't mean he's not a good leader," Clarke told foxsports.au. Clarke has been impressed with Cummins's NSW captaincy in domestic cricket and believes he befits the role of national captain.
