Test skipper Tim Paine will also captain the one-day international team during next month’s tour of England, but selectors are yet to decide who will lead the side’s title defence at the 2019 World Cup, Cricket Australia said in a statement on Tuesday.
The decision came in the aftermath of ball-tampering scandal which led to lengthy bans for former test and ODI captain Steve Smith, his deputy David Warner and batsman Cameron Bancroft.
Aaron Finch has been named as the ODI team’s vice-captain in place of the disgraced Warner and named as captain of the Twenty20 side as well.
“Tim is a strong leader and will captain the side for this series, supported by Aaron,” selector Trevor Hohns said in a media release.
“A decision on a permanent one-day captain will be made in due course.”
