Australian Men’s Team Test Captain Tim Paine has spoken on a variety of subjects as the squad prepares for its scheduled annual leave break amidst the current global pandemic.

Paine is enjoying downtime in Hobart amidst the current global crisis while maintaining his health and fitness for when cricket resumes. All Cricket Australia contracted players commence their scheduled six-week leave period from this Thursday.

Australia recorded an unbeaten home summer for the first time in a decade with clean sweeps in the Gillette T20 International Series against Sri Lanka and Pakistan; a 2-nil Domain Test Series victory against Pakistan and a 3-nil Domain Test Series win against New Zealand.
