Cummins, who remains Australia's official ODI captain, has played just two from a possible 28 matches in the format since the 2023 World Cup.

Australia's Test team will return to Cape Town for the first time since the 2018 'Sandpaper-gate' ball-tampering scandal when they meet South Africa in the final fixture of a three-match series from October 27.

Warner's life ban from leadership roles in Australian cricket due to his role in 'Sandpaper-gate' was lifted last month by Cricket Australia (CA).

The divisive 37-year-old is looking to go out on a high with victory at the T20 World Cup in the West Indies and United States, where Australia are into the Super Eight stage.

Tim Paine has accused South Africa of blatant ball-tampering just days after Australian cricket was rocked by the sandpaper-gate scandal in 2018, alleging it was covered up by the match broadcaster.
