Ben Stokes: The Potential White-Ball Captain for England

Eoin Morgan suggests Ben Stokes as England's white-ball captain.

England are on the hunt for a new captain for their men's one-day and T20 sides after Jos Buttler's resignation. Eoin Morgan, who led England to 50-over World Cup glory in 2019, proposes a unique arrangement where Test skipper Ben Stokes takes the reins for major tournaments. Rob Key has also not ruled out Stokes as a white-ball captain. Experienced players like Joe Root have ruled out the role, while Harry Brook is among the considerations. Morgan was impressed with Brook's captaincy last summer.
