Irfan Pathan has raised concerns about SunRisers Hyderabad choosing Pat Cummins as the captain for IPL 2024, citing Cummins' lack of T20 leadership experience.

Cummins, who is the Australian Test and ODI captain, will take over from Aiden Markram, despite Markram’s successful captaincy with Sunrisers Eastern Cape in the SA20 league.

However, Cummins lacks significant T20 captaincy experience in his track record at any level. Regarding Cummins being named SRH captain, Pathan expressed to Star Sports:

“When you talk about leadership, you wouldn’t want to think beyond Cummins ideally.

Australia just won the World Cup under him; he’s performed really well in the last one and a half years. But the problem is that Cummins will look nice overall."

"However, when it comes to T20 leadership, there’s nothing. His performance isn’t the greatest in T20 cricket and his IPL numbers aren’t decent either.”

“So there will be a challenge. What is SRH thinking? They’ve made a big move here. If Cummins is made captain, what about Markram? You gave him captaincy just for one year, so wouldn’t you want to back him?
