Cummins, Warner and Agar have all been included in this week’s Border-Gaskar Test series despite having left India on their return home for various reasons. Cummins has made an emergency dash home for family reasons but is set to return and play the final two Tests and the ODI series. There is no official vice-captain in the ODI squad, with Hazlewood standing in as captain for an ODI against England last November. Australia’s selectors want to be flexible with the ODI leadership and have a group of players including Test vice-captain Steven Smith, Alex Carey, Marsh and Hazlewood as back-up captaincy options in case Cummins does not play.
