Sam Billings Expresses Desire for England ODI Captaincy
Sam Billings, who has not played for England since 2022, is emerging as a contender for the white-ball captaincy following Jos Buttler's resignation after the Champions Trophy. The 33-year-old wicketkeeper-batsman has led the Oval Invincibles to victory in The Hundred over the past two seasons and recently won the ILT20 with Dubai Capitals. He expressed his eagerness to take on the role, stating he would 'jump at an opportunity' to contribute to the team. Director of cricket Rob Key noted that all options are being considered, including candidates outside the current squad. While Ben Stokes and Harry Brook are also seen as potential successors, Billings's experience and success in domestic cricket position him as a viable choice. He emphasized the need for a balanced team and the opportunities available for players looking to step up in white-ball formats.
