Tim Paine says he would be fully supportive of Steve Smith succeeding him as Australian Test captain, suggesting that leading teams is clearly something the former skipper 'loves doing'

Asked on Tuesday about who would be best-placed to succeed him as skipper, Paine was diplomatic, saying that CA had prioritised developing a group of players capable of leading the team.

Paine said he hadn't yet discussed with Smith the prospect of the former skipper, who turns 31 in June, taking over the captaincy but suggested it was clear Smith enjoyed leading teams. "Obviously I've had a few conversations with people. You don't have to be Einstein to realise that it's probably unlikely, particularly in June. Whether it's cancelled completely or it's pushed back we're not quite sure at the moment."
