Made captain for the series against Pakistan
Let us make one thing clear about the captaincy of Josh English that he has been made the captain only for the series against Pakistan. And, the reason behind this is the Border-Gavaskar Trophy, for which the battle between India and Australia will start from 22nd November.

After this there will be a 3-match T20 series which will run till November 18. Pat Cummins will be seen in the role of captain in the second ODI against Pakistan. After which all these players including Mitchell Starc, Josh Hazlewood and Steve Smith will be out of the ODI series and will start preparing for the Test series against India.
The answer to who will be the captain in the T20 series has been found.
Who will be the new T20 captain of Australia? The answer to this question was already in discussion because there was a strong possibility that Mitchell Marsh would not play in the Border-Gavaskar Trophy T20 series starting from November 14. However, Cricket Australia has now removed all doubts by confirming the name of Josh Inglis.
Australia has taken a 1-0 lead in the ODI series by defeating Pakistan by 2 wickets in the first ODI match played in Melbourne. The second ODI is in Adelaide, by winning which the Australian team would like to win the series. If Pakistan counterattacks, it will be a challenging start to the captaincy career for new captain Josh Inglis.
