David Warner's truth emerges in Pat Cummins

The appointment of Pat Cummins as Australia's one-day international (ODI) captain could spell a silver lining to David Warner's own leadership hopes.

Cricket Australia (CA) confirmed on Tuesday that Cummins would become the country's 27th men's ODI captain, meaning he will have to juggle the role alongside his Test captaincy duties.

Cummins has been named Australia's successor to Aaron Finch in the 50-over format, beating off competition from many players - including Warner.

The Australian batsman has emerged as one of the top contenders for the ODI captaincy despite currently being banned from a leadership role in Australian cricket.

CA is believed to be leaning towards overturning Warner's life ban, which would open the door for the 35-year-old to lead his country despite many cricket fans accusing him.
