captaincy

For a while, Vaughan was rated as the best batter in the world and, more importantly, was on the road to the England captaincy.

In terms of the captaincy, Smith is a more than able replacement.

Record-breaking striker Sam Kerr has vowed to reclaim the captaincy of Australia, declaring she has "so much more to give" in the role.

He has gradually reduced his commitments over the last two years, relinquishing the captaincy in all formats.

From a captaincy point of view, Steve Smith stepping up to lead would not be a problem - he is arguably a better tactician than Cummins.
