Subscriber only Australia is preparing to drop multiple players in the fallout from a record 53-run T20 loss to New Zealand - but under-fire captain Aaron Finch is safe.

But coach Andrew McDonald does not want Finch batting in fear on the back of his first big shot flying to backward point and declared there was no reason to think the skipper wouldn t lead Australia at this year s Twenty20 World Cup in India.

Cummins made his captaincy debut against Victoria at North Sydney Oval on Monday, with the Blues securing a comfortable 59-run victory.
