We discussed Aiden Markram’s captaincy and whether he should be given the ODI captaincy or not.

Graeme Smith recently praised Makram for his captaincy during the T20 World Cup saying:

“Aiden was particularly good during the tournament. He was tactically astute, had good plans and was brave enough to make the big calls and then get all his players to commit to it,” said Smith.

“We have of course seen Aiden captain in this manner before over the course of the past two Betway SA20 seasons, leading the Sunrisers Eastern Cape to back-to-back championship titles, but now he has transferred this experience to the international arena.”

We discussed this on our Live Cricket Show below and ran a poll on whether he should be made ODI captain.
