Australian spin bowling legend Shane Warne feels that Tim Paine’s time as wicketkeeper-batsman for the side was over, and that players such as Matthew Wade, Alex Carey and Josh Inglis should get a look-in from the Cricket Australia (CA) selection committee for the Ashes series beginning at the Gabba on December 8.

Under Paine’s captaincy, Australia lost the home Test series to India 2-1, and with the sexting scandal out in the open, several former players, including former wicketkeeper-batsman Ian Healy, are questioning the logic behind keeping him in the Playing XI for the Ashes, as his presence could be a “distraction” to the side.
