Labuschagne emerges as left-field option to replace Paine as skipper – Sydney Morning Herald
Pat Cummins is seen as the primary contender, but do not discount the Queensland run machine, who has admirers at headquarters.

If the reaction to Smith’s shadow batting is any gauge, the former captain still has his work cut out to win back the public after the sandpaper affair.
Smith has kept his cards close to his chest regarding a return to the role. Former teammate Ryan Harris speculated on SEN that Smith may not want his old job back, but others close to him believe differently. That he was not involved in the on-field chatter in Sydney has been noted.
