SYDNEY, Aug 22: Wicket-keeper batsman Alex Carey on Saturday admitted that he is �disappointed� to lose Australia�s white-ball vice-captaincy but added that he understands the decision to go back to a more traditional leadership set-up.
Carey along with pacer Pat Cummins had shared the vice-captaincy title in limited overs cricket since that leadership structure was implemented under then new coach Justin Langer in 2018.
However, last week skipper Aaron Finch informed that the team would be reverting to a more �streamlined� leadership process and Cummins will be the sole deputy, having been preferred ahead of Carey.
�I�ve had a lot of clarity around the decision. You�re always going to be disappointed with that but I�m also really grateful and thankful for the opportunity I�ve had in that role in the past 24 months,� Carey was quoted as saying by cricket.com.au.
�I would love to still have the title next to my name but it�s not going to change anything from my end.� � PTI
