Matthew Wade, the 29-year-old wicketkeeper, has been named Australia's stand-in One-Day International (ODI) captain for the three-match Chappell-Hadlee series against New Zealand in the absence of Steve Smith, who was ruled out with an ankle injury, and David Warner, who was rested. Wade will serve as Australia's 24th ODI captain in the series which begins in Auckland on Monday (January 30).

No vice-captain has been named for the tour yet.
"Being asked to captain Australia is obviously not something I was expecting and it is still sinking in, but I am hugely honoured by the decision of the selectors and the Board of Directors and very excited about it," Wade said on Friday (January 27).

In-form Warner, who topped the ICC rankings for ODI batsmen, has been rested from the tour in preparation for Australia's upcoming four-Test tour to India in February-March. Wade was therefore, an automatic choice, especially after having enjoyed the confidence of selectors and the captain alike as Australia's primary gloveman across Tests and ODIs.

Good selection by CA , they know how important Series against India in India. Every efforts of Aussies can't stop their losses. In sub continent very difficult to play & it happened with them against SriLanka. Aussies best team also didn't win in India @ last 10 years if right???
