Marsh named Australian T20I captain

Mitchell Marsh was named Australia’s new Twenty20 captain Monday for their tour of South Africa, as selectors revealed Test and one-day skipper Pat Cummins has a fractured wrist but should be fit for the World Cup.

Marsh will take the armband for the first three T20 matches since Aaron Finch’s retirement, leading a squad missing Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood, Cameron Green and David Warner, who are all being rested.

Cummins will also be absent as he recovers from the injury sustained in the final Ashes Test in London. All of them will join up for the one-day leg of the South African tour.
