Eoin Morgan suggests Ben Stokes for England white-ball captaincy

Eoin Morgan has proposed a unique approach for England's new white-ball captaincy, suggesting that Test captain Ben Stokes could intermittently take charge during major tournaments. Following Jos Buttler's resignation after England's dismal showing in the Champions Trophy, there is a need for a new captain for the men's ODI and T20 teams. Morgan emphasized that Stokes, who hasn't played white-ball cricket since the 2023 World Cup, could play a pivotal role without fully committing to the captaincy. He also highlighted Harry Brook as a strong candidate for the captaincy, noting Brook's impressive leadership during a recent series against Australia. The decision will ultimately depend on the direction England wishes to take moving forward. England's director of men's cricket, Rob Key, supports Stokes' consideration for the role, indicating a potential blend of leadership styles could benefit the team.
