Australia has announced that Aaron Finch will return to captaincy duties for the international Twenty20 series against Sri Lanka.
With captain Steve Smith and vice-captain Dave Warner set to travel to India for the four-Test series, Finch will reclaim his status as skipper of the side.
Finch was captain of the T20 side less than 12 months ago, before Selectors opted to appoint Steve Smith as captain of all three formats.
The Victorian said he is looking forward to leading what will be an inexperienced side.
"You can't dwell on that. I think it's a fantastic opportunity for guys who have performed well in the Big Bash to keep pressing their claims for other formats as well," Finch said.
"When you look at the guys who have performed well (for Australia recently) – the younger guys in particular – a lot of it has been through opportunity of other people being injured, and they've come in and done exceptionally well.
"So I think that while there are some world-beaters missing out, there are some extraordinary young players around the country who will now get an opportunity, and that's only a good thing for Australian cricket – to keep giving these guys exposure at the highest level."
The first game of the three-match series is on February 17 at the MCG.
