All-rounder Shane Watson will lead the Australian team in the third and final Twenty20 match against India.
According to foreign media report, “It is an honour to be asked to lead the side on Sunday, although the circumstances are far from ideal,” Watson said in a Cricket Australia statement.
“We may have lost the series but there is a great deal to play for with the ICC World Twenty20 coming up and you can be sure we will be determined to do well in Sydney.”
Watson is Australia’s second most experienced T20I player and will become the ninth player to captain Australia in T20Is. He has previously captained Australia in one Test and nine One-Day Internationals in 2012 and 2013.
