Brook Is The 'front-runner' For Test Captaincy After Stokes’ Retirement, Says Morgan
Harry Brook: Former England skipper Eoin Morgan has listed Harry Brook as the front‑runner to take over the Test captaincy following Ben Stokes’ retirement, adding that he would look to get a different white-ball skipper if the right-handed batter is handed the top role.
Brook is currently England’s white-ball captain and was the vice-captain in Tests when the side lost the recent three-game series to New Zealand by 2-1. "I think you can coach all three formats of the game. We've seen it with India, with Australia. The thing I don't like, though, is having one captain across all three formats - and that creates a problem for England.
"I think there's possibly only one candidate (for the Test job) in that changing room, and that's Brook - unless they go back to Joe Root. Brook is the front-runner for me, and I would look elsewhere for the white-ball captaincy.
