Australian Pat Cummins doesn't interested about the White Ball captaincy

Pat Cummins is focused on living up to his appointment as Australia's new Test Captain and believes limited leadership would be “too much” for him, the 28-year-old said on Saturday. Cummins becomes the first Australian Paceman to lead the team in 65 years after Tim Paine resigned earlier this month after a "sexting" scandal.

Captain Aaron Finch led Australia to its first Twenty20 World Cup title earlier this month, and Cummins felt the shared captaincy number suited them. "It's probably too early to say, mostly because I take this role and see where we go," Cummins was quoted as saying by the Australian Associated Press.

“I think it's asking too much, certainly of me. I would like to focus on test cricket only. "Aaron is doing a fantastic job," said Cummins, saying it was best "to have someone who can make the whitball teams their own, take it in their own direction".

"At the moment I am concentrating purely on tests, that will remain the same for the foreseeable future." The 35-year-old Finch wants to lead the team until at least the 50-over World Cup in India in 2023, after which Australia may have to find a successor.

Cummins, who insisted he doesn't want to miss test cricket, said he has been inundated with news since landing the role of test captain, but the feeling has not yet arrived. "Probably not quite," he said after training on the Gold Coast.

“I think by the time I go out to the Gabba and see a large home crowd, put on the baggy green [cap] and go to the litter - then it will probably hit me. It's a strange feeling. " The first Ashes Test against England will take place at the Gabba Stadium in Brisbane from December 8th. Adelaide, Melbourne, Sydney and Perth are the other venues for the five-game series.
