The 5th match of the series held on Saturday was cancelled, with this Suryakumar Yadav and team won the series 2-1. Whereas Australia took a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the second match after the first match was cancelled. After the match, Adam Gilchrist asked Mitchell Marsh such a question that even the captain was surprised.
In the absence of Pat Cummins, Mitchell Marsh took command in the ODI series against India and defeated India 2-1 in the series. After this, under the captaincy of Marsh, Australia lost the 5-match T20 series 1-2. Although Marsh’s own performance was good, there was discussion about his captaincy because the T20 World Cup is to be held in February.
In such a situation, in the 5th T20, former Australian wicket-keeper batsman Adam Gilchrist directly asked Mitchell Marsh this question that if Pat Cummins becomes fit, will you be the captain in the World Cup or not? Marsh also gave a clear answer to this.
Who will be the captain in T20 World Cup 2026?
Mitchell Marsh was also surprised by Adam Gilchrist’s question related to the T20 World Cup. He asked, “If Pat Cummins becomes fit, will he captain the T20 World Cup or will you remain the captain?”
On this Mitchell Marsh said, “This is a good question, I think I will be the captain in the T20 World Cup. After this Gilchrist again asked, “So you are the official T20 captain? If Pat Cummins joins the T20 team, will he play under your captaincy? To this Marsh said, “Yes, I think so.”
On this Gilchrist said, “Thank you for the clarification, some questions were being asked about this.” Australia does not have any T20 International schedule before the T20 World Cup 2026, so the performance of the players in the Big Bash League can play an important role in the team selection. However, Marsh does not think so.
Marsh said, “Our team, with full potential, is a well-organized team. The Big Bash League is for the players and hopefully the Scorchers (Perth Scorchers) team will win.”
