Coach Justin Langer has hinted that T20 skipper Aaron Finch is a chance to take over the one-day side in place of Tim Paine. Paine was appointed both Test and ODI captain in the wake of the Cape Town ball-tampering saga, which saw captain Steve Smith and his deputy David Warner suspended for 12 months.
But the Tasmanian’s appointment as ODI skipper was flagged as a short-term move and a series whitewash in the UK, where he also struggled for form with the bat, has left his spot in the team up in the air and left the door ajar for Finch to take over.
“He’s done really well in this series,” Langer said of Finch after Australia lost the T20 tri-series final to Pakistan in Harare.
“We’ve talked about it from the day I was appointed, that after this tour we’ll have a really close look at everything we’re doing at the moment.
“From our leadership, which is such an incredibly high priority in Australian cricket, we’ll look at that.
“We’ll look at all of our staff, we’ll look at everything to make sure we keep flying forward as is the expectation of the Australian cricket team” he added further.
