Ahead of the start of the prestigious Ashes series against England, Australia has suffered a major setback, where Tim Paine has resigned from Australia’s Test captaincy after being named in a major controversy. Penn has given this information through a press conference. He said, “I resign as the captain of the Australia men’s cricket team.” According to media reports, Penn had sent his obscene pictures and messages to a girl in 2018 which have now gone viral. This is the reason why he has decided to step down from the captaincy.

He said, “It is a difficult decision for me, but the right one for me, my family and cricket.” Australia recently picked a 15-man squad for the first two Ashes Tests, which also includes the name of Penn. But now after being named in this big controversy, nothing can be said about his place in the team. After leaving the captaincy of Paine, now vice-captain Pat Cummins can be made Test captain. Cummins himself has said two days ago that he is ready to take over the captaincy if the need arises.
The fast bowler said that if he finds it difficult in the role, he can always take the advice of experienced players of the team like former captain Steve Smith and David Warner. He said, “If I ever feel a problem, I have ten other players with me in the team from whom I can take help.” He said, “You have players like Smith and Warner who are very experienced, All the bowlers are very experienced and can take care of everything on their own. So I have no problem in helping them.
