Veteran wicket-keeper batter Matthew Wade received a shot in the arm after he was named as Australia captain for the five-match T20I series against India to be played just after the ongoing World Cup.
The 35-year-old considered his international career all but over 12 months ago as he felt that last year's T20 World Cup would be his last for Australia. But now he will lead a 15-member Australian squad that will be without its frontline fast bowlers.
Australia doesn't have a permanent T20 skipper since Aaron Finch's retirement earlier this year and Mitchell Marsh and Wade have been doing the interim job.
