Captaincy was one thing which eluded Shame Warne in his Test career. Though he was appointed as the vice-captain of the Australian Test team for a brief period, he could not get a chance to lead his team in a career that consisted of 145 Test matches.

Warne, who is the highest wicket-taker for Australia and the second highest wicket-taker in the history of Test cricket, was never thought to be captaincy material by the selectors partly due to disciplinary issues and the presence of leaders like Allan Border, Mark Taylor, Steve Waugh and Ricky Ponting.
Warne would have been an excellent leader, considering his ability to inspire youngsters to scale new heights. This was witnessed in the inaugural season of the Indian Premier League in 2008 when he led a bunch of youngsters to the title.
