Greg Inglis is the new Australian rugby league team captain and he will lead a new-look team in Tests against New Zealand and Tonga in Auckland this month. Inglis has been named by coach Mal Meninga to succeed long-time skipper Cameron Smith and he will lead a 19-man squad missing no fewer than nine members of last year’s World Cup winning team. The squad also includes four debutants in fullback James Tedesco, centre Latrell Mitchell, hooker Damien Cook and utility Tyrone Peachey. Newly-crowned NRL premiers Sydney Roosters have three players in the squad – Tedesco, who takes over the No.1 jersey from the retired Billy Slater, Mitchell who ousts Will Chambers, and skipper Boyd Cordner.
Cook is set to take over at hooker after Smith’s representative retirement. Kangaroos squad: Reagan Campbell-Gillard, Daly Cherry-Evans, Damien Cook, Boyd Cordner, Tyson Frizell, Valentine Holmes, Ben Hunt, Greg Inglis (capt), Felise Kaufusi, David Klemmer, Josh McGuire, Jordan McLean, Latrell Mitchell, Cameron Munster, Tyrone Peachey, James Tedesco, Jake Trbojevic, Tom Trbojevic, Aaron Woods.
