Having previously captained the team in Williamson’s absence, Latham is the leading candidate to assume the white-ball captaincy roles. Latham has expressed his willingness to lead his country. “It would obviously be a real honour,” Latham told reporters on Wednesday. “For me it’s always been about trying to put the team first as best as possible and I’m sure they’ll have those discussions around what they want from a team point of view and certainly if I get the opportunity to do that it would be really special,” he said.
