Sydney, May 17 (Ians) Pace bowler Pat Cummins should lead Australia despite talks that he and other Aussie bowlers could have been involved in the 2018 ball-tampering scandal, said former skipper Ian Chappell.
Chappell said 'ultimate responsibility' of the team rests with Steve Smith, who was leading the side in South Africa in the Test series during which the ball-tampering incident happened.
"If people start jumping up and down about Pat Cummins captaining Australia if he knew, well the answer is pretty clear, because it falls back on Smith," Chappell told Wide World of Sports.
"He's (Steve Smith) the bloke who should have stopped it. The captain's got the overall say and power to stop it, and he didn't. I don't think it should count against Cummins, even if they decide the bowlers did know. Smith is the bloke who should have made sure the whole thing never started," added Chappell.
