  "summary": "Business Recorder reports that Mitch Marsh will continue as Australia's captain for their opening One Day International against South Africa in Durban, despite the arrival of Pat Cummins as the official skipper. Marsh, who led Australia to victories in their first two matches during their recent three-match series in Zimbabwe, will remain in the role while Cummins focuses on preparing for the upcoming three-test series. The 33-year-old Cummins, who has not played an ODI for Australia since the 2023 World Cup, could return for one or both of the remaining ODIs in Johannesburg and Potchefstroom.",
