The former skipper winner of the World Cup in England, Eoin Morgan, revealed his two choices which could become a white ball captain of Three Lions after the resignation of Jos Buttler from the post after a campaign of ICC champions trophy without victory. England was looking for a new white ball skipper after Buttler left the role after an ICC Champions Trophy 2025 campaign without victory and failed on 50 and 20 in the defenses of the title of the world. Addressing Sky Sports News, Morgan said, as mentioned by ICC, “I think it is imperative that you always have a target in mind.” With the recent form, especially in white ball cricket, you cannot go out and suddenly try and win absolutely everything. You must paint a table in the future as to what you drive all your energy. “”
While the Test Stokes skipper has not played Odi since the 2023 male cricket World Cup, Morgan thinks that versatile can play in the transitional role.
“I think that a little left ground call would be to ask Ben Stokes to consider the role, not necessarily full time.”
“It would be necessary to create an environment where Ben slipped and would come out in a transparent way in preparation of large tournaments, then sat on the rare pace and focuses on the test of testing match until these big tournaments get up.”
Morgan also supported Brook for the role, conceding that the 26 -year -old posted impressive leadership features while heading the team during the home series in England against Australia last year.
“If you highlight something that is in three years, four years, someone like Harry Brook would do a wonderful job,” said Morgan.
“He had the captain at the end of our summer last year against a really strong Australian team, and I thought he was impressive.
“We know Harry Brook as an incredibly talented player that we see growing and improving from year to year, which is just a joy to watch. But the role of leadership did not seem to weigh on him.
“The test element for me was after losing a match in which I thought England had played well, was just to see how they bounced as a team.
“The test is always when the team is postponed and for me, they rebounded terribly. I came back to fight, returned to the punch and it was not imprudent. It was clear, confident and calculated. For me, it is a very good sign,” he concluded.
