Brett Lee has said that there are four-five players with potential in the current Indian squad who can take the team forward in Tests.

His comments came after Virat Kohli stepped down as India's Test captain. Last year, Kohli announced his decision to step down as the T20I captain, and BCCI had sacked him from ODI duties as they wanted one white-ball captain.

"It is totally Virat Kohli's call. I have been focused on the Big Bash League back home and obviously, the Ashes. I cannot say much about it, it is totally up to Virat Kohli. I think there are four-five players who can lead India in Tests right only, only time will tell," Lee told ANI.

"It is totally up to the Indian management, there are four-five players who can do the job," he added.

Brett Lee was also all praises for new Australia Test skipper Pat Cummins who recently captained his side to a 4-0 Test series win over England at home and retained the Ashes 2021-22. 

Cummins was the first Australia fast bowler to be named captain since Ray Lindwall led them in one Test against India in 1956 as a stand-in skipper.

“We won 4-0? I think he has done a pretty good job. I think his captaincy has been really, really solid and he was supported by some great people around him. The issue may have been will Pat Cummins be able to take wickets once he’s captain. He has proven he can do that. So I was really happy for him," Lee said while praising Cummins. 

Brett Lee is currently playing for World Giants team in the ongoing Legends League T20 tournament.
