NEW DELHI: Former Australia cricketer Ian Healy has urged Pat Cummins to leave Test captaincy and focus solely on his fast-bowling skills. Cummins was appointed as Australia's Test captain in November of 2021. The 29-year-old was made ODI skipper last year when Aaron Finch retired.
"I don't want him carrying the burden of so much captaincy for too long. I want him to finish (as just a bowler). The captaincy creates a burnout and four to five years is a long time as a captain."
