LYLE Teske is thrilled to be taking over a job once held by fellow Toowoomba talent Troy Gurski and revered indoor cricket icon Alan Wilson.
Teske has just steered Queensland to victory at the Australian Indoor Cricket Championships in Brisbane and received the added good news of being selected to in the national team as captain.
"It's a great honour and I (follow on) from the likes of Troy Gurski and Alan Wilson," Teske said.
"I've done Queensland the last two years and this is the first time for Australia so I'm really looking for ward to it."
Teske said the Australian team will tour Sri Lanka later this year.
The Toowoomba talent claimed his second nationals win as Queensland captain on Saturday when the tournament hosts beat Western Australian 116-73 in a three skins to one victory in the open men's final.
Teske starred in the final scoring 17 runs and taking 3-1 in his two overs of bowling, and was only narrowly pipped by team mate Rhys Dearness for player of the final honours.
Queensland made a clean sweep of the open and underage men's and women's age groups.
"You never get sick of winning. It was a really good feeling, a really good effort," Teske said of the win from his young squad which featured fellow Toowoomba player Nathan Story.
Rebecca Cook helped the Queensland open women to 126-82 four skins final win over South Australia, with Toowoomba's Emma Walls and Peta Maloney also part of the squad.
