New Delhi, Jan 27: Former Australia pacer Brett Lee believes there are four to five guys in India’s present setup who might head the senior Test team. Brett Lee’s remarks come just two weeks after Virat Kohli resigned as India’s Test captain. Kohli stepped down as T20I captain last year and was then ousted as ODI captain because the selectors only wanted one white-ball leader.
“It is totally Virat Kohli’s call. I have been focused on the Big Bash League back home and obviously, the Ashes. I cannot say much about it, it is totally up to Virat Kohli. I think there are four-five players who can lead India in Tests right only, only time will tell,” said Brett Lee.
“It is totally up to the Indian management, there are four-five players who can do the job,” he added.

Under the leadership of Pat Cummins, Australia trounced England 4-0 in the recently ended Ashes series.
Lee responded to a question on Cummins’ captaincy by saying: “Pat Cummins has done a fantastic job as a captain, proving that fast bowlers can be captains as well. I am ecstatic for him.”
Lee is presently playing cricket for the World Giants team in the Legends League.
