In the wake of recent news with Aaron Finch stepping down from his international duties in the shortest format, it leaves a gaping hole with the captaincy job now remaining up in the air for the taking.
A host of candidates worthy of being tasked with the role spring to mind, but with an ageing squad in the T20 department, a long-term replacement becomes a difficult proposition.
With the month of August marking Australia's next scheduled T20, a three-match series against South Africa (organised as apart of the future tours program), it buys time for a decision to be made.
A mix of experienced campaigners and a touch of the rawness of youth makeup our handful of hopefuls jostling for a spot in the top job, as far as the captaincy role goes in the shortest format.
3. Cameron Green
Another in the all-rounder class, with a name that's become synonymous with the future of the game in this country since bursting onto the scene, is Cameron Green, a rising talent growing before our very eyes.
Green is notable inclusion in the conversation, and one that will be sounded out with interest, as a left-field hope worthy of consideration to be donned with the leadership honour.
Like the aforementioned Marsh, Green is a Perth-based boy, whose development was fast-tracked into wearing Australian colours and representing his nation in all three formats as a 23-year-old.
The young man may be apart of Australia's succession plan moving forward, with the selectors eyeing off a possible interest in Green fulfilling the role of the man in charge of the 20 over campaigns down the track.
