Michael Clarke’s sudden disappearance from the Australian team in New Zealand has set off a few concerns.
Former Australian captain has commented on the present Australian vice captain, wondering if Clarke is the man going forward.
Chappell touched upon the quality of “durability” and “stability” and stated that while Clarke did suffer injuries that have sidelined him, domestic issues are also of concern to a team that will, in the future, require a captain who will be there for them. While Chappell hinted that domestic concerns are real, he also felt the if there was another man to do the job, these pressing problems for Clarke could see him lose the chance to captain Australia.
Australian captain, Ricky Ponting, showed support for Clarke but has also hinted he does not want a half inclined vice captain. Ponting and the management are insisting that Clarke decide when he wants to come back but are wary to press him should his commitment and concentration over incidents over the past few days.
