SYDNEY (Reuters) - After losing their last two test captains amid allegations of misconduct, Cricket Australia will be certain to do their due diligence before appointing the next man to take over the job.

Tim Paine's shock resignation on Friday over sexually explicit text messages followed Steve Smith's departure from the team's leadership in the wake of the controversial 2018 Newlands ball-tampering scandal.
