Cricket Australia (CA) CEO Nick Hockley has backed Tim Paine to return to the country바카라s Test squad, saying he wants to see the former skipper 바카라playing and performing바카라 for Australia again. (More Cricket News)
Paine took an indefinite mental health break from the game after stepping down as Test captain ahead of the ongoing Ashes 2021-22 in the wake of a 바카라sexting바카라 scandal, which involved him sending inappropriate texts to a female co-worker in 2017.
바카라Would love to see him play again, for both his state and for Australia,바카라 Hockley told SEN. 바카라We want to see him back out there, playing and performing, as quickly as possible.바카라
Paine, who turned 37 on Wednesday, was handed the reins of Australian cricket at a time when the image of the game was in jeopardy following the ball-tampering scandal that happened in Cape Town in 2018. (Ashes 2021-22 Live Streaming)
Following Paine바카라s decision to quit, there were speculations that he might never play for Australia again as the wicketkeeper-batter was expected to retire at the end of this summer.  Pat Cummins has been named Australia's new Test captain.Â
Cricket Australia also received a lot of flak for the way it handled the issue with Cricket Tasmania chair Andrew Gaggin calling it 바카라appalling바카라 and 바카라the worst since Bill Lawry over 50 years ago바카라.
Hockley said it was Paine바카라s call to quit as captain and 바카라that was a decision that the board felt was appropriate바카라 and it was trying to support him.
바카라The head coach has been down to see him, we바카라ve had members of our high performance set up go down to Tassie. The Tasmanian cricket community have put their arms around him,바카라 said Hockley, who was appointed chief executive on an interim basis in 2020 before being made permanent a year later.
바카라We are all very, very concerned - to make sure that Tim is well supported. A lot of respect for Tim for owning his mistake and our job now is to really support him.바카라
