He reiterated the belief that Molineux remained Australia’s best bet for the T20 World Cup.
“But we think, on balance, she was the candidate that was the best option for a number of reasons: her on-field experience and success that she’d had, her off-field connection and a vision for the team.
“We’ll be judged on that as time goes on, but we think it was the right decision at the time. I think she’s done really well in the games that she has captained and the way she’s been around the group so far. I guess we’ll see how that ends up in the T20 World Cup and how it goes in the future as well.”
However, Flegler also remained clear that the bowling all-rounder, who has 84 international wickets to her name, will be considered only if she is able to bowl during the event.
“We’re certainly not looking at her as a batting captain. She’ll be playing as a bowling allrounder to be available.”
