I'd rather leave Harry Brook alone for a while but he does seem the obvious choice from limited options.
thats the thing, but who else, only looking at Duckett or maybe even Salt but those would be poor choices IMO
I don't even think Phil Salt is guaranteed a place in the side on current form.
This is a general cricket thread. Last time I looked India is still a cricketing nation ?Not sure we need India in this chat.
I don't know how many ODIs we actually have in the near future but I doubt Root is getting into the T20 side. I assume they want the same captain for both formats.
Mmmm good point...looks like Brook the only choice I guess

no leave him for the test matches.The man has finally spoken. Interesting about Stokes ?
Ben Stokes considered as England white-ball captain, says Rob Key
England would be "stupid" not to consider Ben Stokes as a white-ball captain, says director of men's cricket Rob Key.
He wouldn’t ever be fit to be captain for all three formats.
Why not bring the Irish bloke back? He was quite successful.
He should do. A class player but needs to start performing again.
We play SA that winter which makes sense - cuts the flight time in half roughly.
Agree 100% - I'm not sure why the Champions Trophy needs to be a thing when you have T20 WC's every 2 years and 50 over WC every 4 years. Cricket is now played all year round and is at risk of saturation with all the T20 franchise cricket and now T10 franchise as well. Money, money, money...
Think that it hadn't been played for over 10 years. Wasn't the greatest tournament ever but still much more interesting than most Tn franchise tournaments.
8 years but that was due to Covid preventing the 2021 edition so it is basically another 50 over WC without the smaller nations - seems pointless to me
No less pointless than any franchise cricket but I understand your point.8 years but that was due to Covid preventing the 2021 edition so it is basically another 50 over WC without the smaller nations - seems pointless to me

Not much insight not wanting to dampen things but ive seen this a lot with Pakistani players who burst on the scene then the hype machine goes into full effect and a player like that rests on his laurels.@TW3Bee good win for your boys here after being thrashed first couple of games. Can't remember when Pakistan won a white ball game so I am sure you were happy?
Hassan Nawaz hits Pakistan's fastest T20 century in win over New Zealand
Hassan Nawaz blazes Pakistan's fastest T20 century as his side completes a nine-wicket victory over New Zealand in Auckland.
@Jam Jar any insight on Hassan Nawaz? Never heard of him before but looks from afar a top innings.
Pakistan need a transition over the next couple of years and certainly try out younger players and build the side around them. Won’t be a bad thing to lose a few if the aim going forward is to be competitive in all formats.

What has happened to the English womens setup, seems to have gone to absolute s*it in the last few years.Heather Knight leaves role as England womens captain - Sciver-Brunt clear favourite and rightly so IMHO
Heather Knight sacked: England cricket captain to be replaced after Ashes humiliation
England will be searching for a new captain for the first time in nine years as Heather Knight is sacked after the 16-0 Ashes humiliation in Australia.
Well firstly fitness not up to standard and was rightly called out by Alex Hartley - this also impacts fielding standards in general which were appalling in the Ashes
