SYDNEY - Tim Paine will be Australia’s captain for the foreseeable future and there is no reason why he would not lead the team in next year’s inaugural World Test Championship final if they qualify, coach Justin Langer said on Wednesday.
Selected for his demeanour as much as for his batting and wicketkeeping skills, Paine was at the helm when Australia lost a first home series to India, but has since overseen the retention of the Ashes in England and two series triumphs. “Truth is there’s been conjecture from outside but there’s never been one millisecond of conjecture within our team,” he told reporters at the Sydney Cricket Ground.
Paine, 35, scored his seventh test half century in the second test against New Zealand in Melbourne, which Australia won by 247 runs to take an unassailable 2-0 lead in the series heading into Sydney.
