As part of the sanction after Cape Town, Smith has a further two years to serve once he returns from his playing ban before he can be considered for a leadership role. Warner can never be considered for a leadership role again.
So who would be captain if Paine was dropped, Khawaja?
Barring a massive drop in form, Paine will be around for a while yet in the creams, defiantly the ASHES, IMO.
Let that be a lesson to you Port, no one beats the Bays five times in a row in a GF and gets away with it!!!
