Ashes Series Australian Captains list | Ashes 2017-18 Eng vs Aus
Posted By: Kaushik Das | October 25, 2017Australia played in the first Test match in cricket in 1877, the first One Day International in 1971 (both against England) and the first Twenty20 international in 2005 (against New Zealand). In addition to officially sanctioned international matches and tours organized by the Australian Cricket Board (now known as Cricket Australia), there have been two major rebel Australian sides.
In the 1970s many of Australia’s leading players signed up for Kerry Packer’s World Series Cricket and played in a number of SuperTests against other international sides. Then in the mid-1980s, there were two rebel Australian tours to South Africa, which was at that time banned from official competition because of the apartheid regime then in force there. The captains of those Australian sides as well as the Ashes Series Australian Captains list are listed below.
