The English General Director of the Men Cricket Team, Rob Key, made a huge statement about the successor Jos Buttler after the team out of the group stage from the 2025 champion trophy. Key hinted that Ben Stokes could lead a side of 50, calling him one of the best captains he saw.
The 2019 World Cup winners endured another disappointing ICC event, ending their campaign of Trophy champions without a single victory. After their defeat to Afghanistan, Jos Buttler stepped down as a captain. English selectors now have to make a key decision regarding the future of the team.
Ben Stokes did not unvee in ODIS from the 2023 World Cup in 2023
Harry Brook, who is Vice President, is one of the leading candidates who has become an English Skiper. Brook led the side in Buttler’s absence during the domestic Nada series against Australia last year. However, the young dough fought in the champion trophy and scored only 47 driving in three matches.
In the meantime, Ben Stokes played a key role in winning England in the white ball World Cup. He retired from ODIS after the 2023 World Cup, but he hinted at playing in the champion trophy. However, Jugpaw was excluded due to a knee injury sustained during the English test series in New Zealand.
Ben Stokes is one of the best captains I’ve ever seen – Robert Key
Rob Key stated that all possibilities are considered for the future leadership of England, adding that it would be stupid to overlook Ben Stokes. Key said Stokes has the ability to inspire his teammates under pressure.
“Ben Stokes is one of the best captains I’ve ever seen. So it would be stupid not to watch him. It’s just a striking effect of what that means,” Key told reporters Thursday (March 6). “I don’t think anything is from the table. You look at every single option and think, don’t you, what is best to do? How will it affect other things?
“He is an incredibly good tactic tactic, who we saw in the test crunch, but he is the leader of the men. He is someone who gets out of people best. He is someone who, when the pressure is really turned on, is able to throw a blanket around the player and actually say,” No, this is the way forward. These are the qualities you need in the lead, “he added.
These are the decisions I have to make – Robert Key
Rob Key said it was necessary to consider the work load of Ben Stokes. Key stated that they should also focus on the positive appointments of Stokes.
“Ben’s, as we know, an extraordinary player, an extraordinary leader. It’s more about it, what would it mean? What would then mean his work burden?” The key continued.
“We don’t want to risk other things. But there is always a way in England, where do you start to look at, ‘What if it goes wrong? “You also have to think,” What if it goes right? “These are the decisions I have to make.”
Jos Buttler was taken over by England captain from Eoin Morgan in 2022 and had a mixed term in the last three years. He led England to win the T20 2022 World Cup on the Melbourne crisis.
However, England was eliminated in the group stage of the ODA 2023 World Cup in India. Buttler led England to the semifinals in the T20 World Cup 2024, but they suffered a heavy defeat against India.
