For the cricket community, the Summer Olympics in 2028 will form a vital role in the history of the game. So far, the popular game was not a part of the Olympics. However, from the Los Angeles edition in 2028, the gentlemen’s game will be a part of the event. It will be a big honour for the captains and also the nations to win the Gold Medal. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of three players who could captain Australia in the 2028 Olympics.
1) Pat Cummins
31 years old now, Pat Cummins is already a legend for Australia. He has won multiple trophies as a captain till now. It would be an honour for him to lead the side in the Olympic Games.
Even if he is not frequent in the T20 format, Cummins might ready himself to be a part of the big event. Winning the Gold Medal in the first Olympic Games having cricket would be an excellent distinction for Australia.
2) Cameron Green
Cameron Green is one of the players who could captain Australia in the 2028 Olympics. Logically, he could be the next captain of Australia across formats. He is someone who is a future superstar and could have already got some captaincy experience by 2028.
Green usually has a calm head on his shoulders. Considering the value and balance he adds to the team, he could very well captain them in 2028.
3) Travis Head
In the Big Bash League, Travis Head has decent experience as a captain. It needs to be noted that he is just 30 and would have quite a few more years left as a cricketer for Australia.
By then, the likes of Glenn Maxwell and Mitchell Marsh might have moved on and hence, Head has a good chance of leading the side. Therefore, he is on this list.
